Mathematical Sciences Focused Research Groups (MS-FRG) supports collaborative groups tackling major mathematical and statistical challenges through innovative research to achieve significant advances.
NSF removed the second-Wednesday-in-September target date and the accompanying guidance on anytime submissions, panel-review timing, and submission through the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation. Program contact emails changed from disciplinary addresses to FRGMath@nsf.gov, and the contact list was reduced to four program directors.
Mathematical Sciences Research Training Groups (MS-RTG) supports collaborative mathematics and statistics groups in research and graduate training to expand careers in academia, government, and industry.
NSF MPS funds a variety of research programs advancing theoretical and applied mathematical sciences, encouraging ambitious foundational proposals across multiple disciplines.
Supporting future leaders in math/science through postdoctoral research fellowships to enhance their scientific development in various fields.
Targeted Grants in MPS supports researchers pursuing high-risk theoretical mathematics, physics and computer science projects of exceptional scientific promise to advance basic science and mathematics.
Supporting collaborative research between math and biology through joint NSF and NIH initiative with two funding tracks up to $1.2M for 3-4 years.
