Description
The AMS-Simons Research Enhancement for PUI Grants, administered by the American Mathematical Society, support faculty mathematicians at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The program seeks to address disparities in research funding opportunities between PUI faculty and faculty in doctorate-granting departments, increase the visibility of active research at PUIs, and strengthen the mathematical profession.
Awards support three years of activities that advance an individual faculty member’s research agenda and professional development. Proposals may continue prior work or pursue new projects, with an emphasis on adding mathematical knowledge, enhancing research, and developing collaboration. Undergraduate participation can broaden institutional impact when it directly advances the awardee’s research program, but student involvement is not required.
