Description
This grant aims to enhance research capacity and professional development for mathematicians at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) in the United States. The program provides three years of support for research-related activities, including conference travel, collaboration, equipment, publication costs, and other expenses that directly advance the awardee’s research agenda. The goal is to foster collaborations, increase research productivity, and strengthen mathematics research environments at institutions that do not offer doctoral degrees in mathematics.
