Description
The AMS-Simons Research Enhancement for PUI program supports mathematicians with active research programs at primarily undergraduate institutions. Administered by the American Mathematical Society, it was established in 2023 with Simons Foundation funding and additional support from the Menger family and AMS. The program seeks to address disparities in research funding, increase the visibility of research at PUIs, and support the mathematical profession.
Awards can advance existing research or launch new projects through collaboration, travel, research resources, and related activities. Proposals should explain their potential to add knowledge and affect the profession. Undergraduate participation and broader institutional benefits are welcome, but student involvement is not required. Applicants proposing new research must demonstrate their preparation and a credible plan for accomplishing it.
