Funder: American Mathematical Society
Due Dates: February 28, 2027 (Full application deadline, anticipated) | February 28, 2027 (Institutional verification deadline, anticipated)
Funding Amounts: Up to $3,000 per year for 3 years (total $9,000 per awardee) plus $600/year to institution for administration; no indirect costs.
Summary: Supports mathematicians at U.S. primarily undergraduate institutions to enhance research activity, collaboration, and the research environment.
Description
The AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grants for Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) provide targeted funding to mathematicians employed full-time in tenured or tenure-track positions at U.S. colleges or universities that do not confer PhDs in mathematics. The program aims to boost research engagement, foster collaborations, and strengthen the research culture at institutions where research opportunities may be more limited. Funds support a wide range of research-related activities, including travel, equipment, student assistants, family-care expenses, and more, with the goal of enriching both the recipient's research program and the broader mathematical community at PUIs.
