Description
The American Mathematical Society’s AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grants support mathematicians with active research programs at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Established in 2023 with Simons Foundation funding, the program addresses disparities in research funding opportunities between PUI faculty and faculty in doctorate-granting departments, increases the visibility of research at PUIs, and supports awardees’ development as mathematicians.
The three-year grants support continuing research or new projects in disciplinary mathematical sciences areas supported by NSF. Research enhancement and collaboration are central goals, with attention to work’s potential to add knowledge and affect the profession. Projects may involve undergraduate students and benefit the awardee’s institution, but student participation is not required. New projects must demonstrate credible preparation and a specific plan for accomplishing the proposed work.
