April 1–30, 2026 (Conference/Travel proposals) | September 1–30, 2026 (Conference/Travel proposals) | November 3, 2026 (General proposals)

Estimated total program funding: $8,800,000 | ~60 awards anticipated | No specified minimum/maximum per award

Supports research and conference activities in geometric analysis, including differential geometry, geometric group theory, and related fields.

--- ## Description This program supports research in geometric analysis, encompassing differential geometry and its connections to partial differential equations and variational principles, geometric methods in modern mathematical physics, symplectic geometry, geometric group theory, geometric data analysis, and aspects of global analysis (such as convex, complex, integral, and information geometries). The program also considers proposals for conferences, workshops, and similar activities in these areas. Conference and travel proposals must be submitted using the "Conference" or "Travel" proposal type in Research.gov, with specific submission windows and advance timing requirements relative to the event date. --- ## Due Dates - April 1–30, 2026: Submission window for conference/travel proposals - September 1–30, 2026: Submission window for conference/travel proposals - November 3, 2026: Final deadline for general proposals Conference/travel proposals must be submitted: - At least 6 months before the event for budgets ≤ $50,000 - At least 8 months before the event for budgets > $50,000 --- ## Funding Amount - Estimated total program funding: $8,800,000 - Approximately 60 awards expected - No explicit minimum or maximum award size specified - Awards may support research projects, conferences, workshops, and similar activities --- ## Eligibility - Unrestricted: Open to all types of applicants, including universities, colleges, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, and other entities - Principal Investigators should review the [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) for additional eligibility and proposal requirements --- ## Application Process - All proposals must be submitted via [Research.gov](https://www.research.gov/) following the requirements outlined in the funding opportunity and the current PAPPG - Conference/travel proposals must use the "Conference" or "Travel" proposal type - Adhere to the advance submission requirements for conference/travel proposals (6–8 months before the event, depending on budget) - Review and comply with NSF's updated research security policies, including training and certification requirements - Carefully read relevant PAPPG sections, especially for travel support to international events --- ## Additional Information - No cost sharing or matching is required - Proposals are subject to NSF's current award conditions and federal financial assistance regulations - For details on previously funded projects, see the [NSF Award Search for this program](https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/advancedSearchResult?ProgEleCode=126500&BooleanElement=Any&BooleanRef=Any&ActiveAwards=true#results) - Updated research security requirements apply to all applicants --- ## External Links - [NSF Program Page](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/geometric-analysis) - [NSF Program Description PD-22-1265](http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5549) - [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1) - [Apply via Grants.gov](https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/jsf/workspace/createWorkspace.faces?activityID=CreateWorkspace&cleanSession=1&oppId=340545) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Organization | |--------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------|--------------| | Swatee Naik, Program Director | [snaik@nsf.gov](mailto:snaik@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-4876 | MPS/DMS | | Eriko Hironaka, Program Director | [ehironak@nsf.gov](mailto:ehironak@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-7041 | | | Qun Li | [qli@nsf.gov](mailto:qli@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-7465 | | | Paulo M.
