Description
This program provides multi-year research enhancement grants for full-time, tenured or tenure-track mathematics faculty at U.S. primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) that do not confer doctoral degrees in mathematics. The grant aims to support research productivity and professional development by funding research-related activities such as conference participation, collaboration travel, equipment, software, publication expenses, and more. The program is designed to address the unique challenges faced by PUI faculty in maintaining active research agendas and encourages activities that foster collaborations and broader institutional impacts.
