Proposals accepted anytime (see DMS program page for any specific program deadlines)

$10,000–$100,000 per award; up to $4,000,000 total program funding annually; project duration up to 3 years

Supports conferences, workshops, and related events that advance research and training in the mathematical sciences.

--- ## Description This opportunity supports conferences, workshops, and related activities—including seasonal schools and group international travel—that aim to advance research and training within the mathematical sciences. The goal is to disseminate scholarly work, foster collaboration, engage students and junior scientists, and broaden participation within the field. Proposals may request funding for activities of up to three years' duration, and should be submitted to the appropriate Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) disciplinary program. --- ## Due Dates - Proposals are accepted at any time. - However, each DMS disciplinary program may have its own specific deadlines; applicants should consult the relevant [DMS program webpage](https://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DMS) for program-specific due dates. --- ## Funding Amount - Typical awards range from $10,000 to $100,000 per project. - Total program funding is up to $4,000,000 annually, subject to availability. - Project duration may be up to 3 years. - No cost-sharing or matching is required. --- ## Eligibility - **Eligible applicants:** - Accredited U.S. two- and four-year institutions of higher education (including community colleges), acting on behalf of their faculty. - Non-profit, non-academic organizations in the U.S. directly associated with educational or research activities (e.g., independent museums, observatories, research labs, professional societies). - **International branch campuses** of U.S. institutions may participate, but proposals must justify why activities cannot be performed at the U.S. campus and explain the benefit of the international location. - There are no restrictions on who may serve as Principal Investigator (PI), nor limits on the number of proposals per PI or organization. --- ## Application Process - Proposals must be submitted to the relevant DMS disciplinary program, following the deadlines and requirements for that program. - Submission options: - [NSF FastLane](https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov) - [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov) - Prepare proposals according to the [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) and the [program solicitation](http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf10578). - Key proposal requirements: - Clear scientific rationale and distinction from other events. - Justification for any prior NSF support. - Substantial support for participants without other federal support, students, postdocs, and underrepresented groups. - Plans for broad recruitment and diversity of participants. - Dissemination strategy for results (e.g., proceedings, websites, publications). - Letters of intent and preliminary proposals are not required. --- ## Additional Information - Proposals should address DMS priorities: breadth/diversity of participation, involvement of underrepresented groups, connection to research frontiers, and overall impact on the U.S. mathematical sciences community. - Most funds should support students, postdocs, and participants without other federal support. - Activities and facilities funded must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. - Shared support from other federal agencies, states, or private organizations is encouraged. - The Division does not fund individual international travel proposals; such requests should be included within research proposals. --- ## External Links - [NSF Program Page (DMS)](https://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DMS) - [Official Grants.gov Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359563) - [Program Solicitation (NSF 10-578)](http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf10578) - [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) --- ## Contact Information | Name/Group | Email | Phone | |---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------| | General DMS Inquiries | grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov | (703) 292-5111 | | Tomek Bartoszynski | tbartosz@nsf.gov | (703) 292-4885 | | Mary Ann Horn | mhorn@nsf.gov | (703) 292-4879 | | Joanna Kania-Bartoszynska | jkaniaba@nsf.gov | (703) 292-4881 | | Tie Luo | tluo@nsf.gov | (703) 292-8448 | | Bruce Palka | bpalka@nsf.gov | (703) 292-4856 | | Jennifer S.
