No specified minimum or maximum; award size and duration vary by project.

Supports mathematics research motivated by and contributing to solutions of problems in science and engineering.

--- ## Description This opportunity supports research in applied mathematics that is motivated by and contributes to the solution of problems in science and engineering. Proposals must demonstrate mathematical innovation and have broad and high-quality impact on applications. Projects that provide rigorous training for junior applied mathematicians are encouraged. Both single investigator and interdisciplinary team projects are eligible. Proposals for conferences and workshops must be submitted through the separate "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" program. Special submission timelines apply to conference/workshop proposals, particularly for those with budgets exceeding $50,000 or for events outside the United States. --- ## Due Dates - November 1–15, 2025 (annual submission window) - November 1–15, 2026 (annual submission window) **Conference/Workshop Proposals:** - Events in the US: Submit at least 8 months before the event. - Group travel outside the US: Submit at least 12 months before the event. - Conference/workshop proposals over $50,000: Must be submitted during the annual November window. --- ## Funding Amount - No fixed minimum or maximum award size. - Typical award size and duration depend on project scope and NSF budget. - No cost sharing or matching required. --- ## Eligibility - Open to all applicant types (“Unrestricted”). - Institutions of higher education, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, and other entities are eligible. - See the [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) for detailed eligibility and submission requirements. --- ## Application Process - Submit proposals via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/358569) or NSF FastLane/Research.gov. - All proposals must adhere to the requirements in the current [NSF PAPPG](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1). - For conference/workshop proposals, use the separate [Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences](http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=11701&org=DMS&from=home) solicitation. - Ensure proposals are submitted within the annual window or according to the advance submission requirements for events. --- ## Additional Information - Projects should emphasize mathematical innovation and application impact. - Proposals involving the training of junior researchers are particularly encouraged. - For proposals exceeding $50,000 for conferences/workshops, submission is restricted to the November window. - Recent updates to NSF research security policies may apply; see [Important Notice No. 149](https://www.nsf.gov/notices/important/important-notice-no-149-updates-nsf-research-security/in149). --- ## External Links - [NSF Program Description: Applied Mathematics](http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5664) - [Official Grants.gov Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/358569) - [NSF Funding Opportunity Page](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/applied-mathematics) - [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) - [Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences](http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=11701&org=DMS&from=home) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Organization | |-----------------|-----------------------------|---------------|--------------| | Dmitry Golovaty | dgolovat@nsf.gov | (703) 292-2117| NSF | | Stacey Levine | slevine@nsf.gov | (703) 292-2948| MPS/DMS | | Hailiang Liu | hliu@nsf.gov | (703) 292-2436| MPS/DMS | | NSF Grants.gov Support | grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov | | NSF | For general NSF questions: info@nsf.gov | 1-703-292-5111 ---
