Description
This opportunity from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) provides support for conferences, workshops, seasonal schools, and related events—including group international travel—that enhance research and training in the mathematical sciences. The program aims to foster scholarly exchange, broaden participation, and strengthen the mathematical sciences community in the United States.
DMS particularly encourages proposals that:
- Broaden participation by individuals and institutions, especially those underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.
- Involve students, junior investigators, and individuals lacking other federal support.
- Connect to research frontiers, NSF priorities, and strategic areas.
- Demonstrate significant impact on the US mathematical sciences community.
Most funds are expected to support participants who are students, postdocs, or from underrepresented groups, or who lack other federal support.
