AIM Research Communities support large, collaborative groups advancing mathematics through sustained, interdisciplinary, and virtual research activities.
Funder: American Institute of Mathematics
Due Dates: November 1, 2026 (AIM Research Communities)
Funding Amounts: No fixed award; AIM provides substantial logistical and organizational support for large-scale, collaborative mathematics research communities.
Summary: Supports large, collaborative groups in mathematics research, fostering sustained activities and interdisciplinary connections.
AIM Research Communities (ARCs) are designed to support large-scale, collaborative efforts in mathematics, typically involving at least 40 participants. These communities are organized around specific research themes and are particularly beneficial for individuals who lack local collaborators or cannot travel. ARCs may take the form of long-term online workshops, collaborative learning activities for graduate students and junior researchers, or the development of research networks that bridge different mathematical subfields. The aim is to foster ongoing research, community-building, and interdisciplinary collaboration, with many communities designed to last and grow over time.
