MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs (MPS MathSci)

<p>The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports multiple research programs at the frontiers of discovery in theoretical and applied mathematical sciences.</p><p>Programs include:</p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/algebra-number-theory">Algebra and Number Theory</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/analysis">Analysis</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/applied-mathematics">Applied Mathematics</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/combinatorics">Combinatorics</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/computational-mathematics">Computational Mathematics</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/foundations">Foundations</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/geometric-analysis">Geometric Analysis</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/mathematical-biology">Mathematical Biology</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/probability">Probability</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/statistics">Statistics</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/topology">Topology</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/mathematical-sciences-infrastructure-program">Mathematical Sciences Research Infrastructure</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/frgms-focused-research-groups-mathematical-sciences">Mathematical Sciences Focused Research Groups</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/rtg-research-training-groups-mathematical-sciences">Mathematical Sciences Research Training Groups</a></p></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NSF anticipates a portfolio of awards for these programs with a range of budgets, durations and scopes. Program budgets, number of awards, award sizes and durations are subject to the availability of funds.<br><br>NSF MPS is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.</p>
