Mathematical Sciences Infrastructure Program
This grant supports projects that enhance the research infrastructure, training, and cross-disciplinary activities in the mathematical sciences community.
Funder: U.S. National Science Foundation
Due Dates: February 2, 2027 (current closing date) | December 15, 2020 (original closing date for training proposals)
Funding Amounts: No specified ceiling or floor; budgets must be commensurate with project scope.
Summary: Supports projects that strengthen the mathematical sciences research infrastructure, including research, training, and national-scale conferences or workshops.
Description
The program aims to ensure the vitality of the U.S. mathematical sciences research community by supporting projects that develop or enhance research infrastructure. It welcomes proposals for:
- Novel infrastructure projects that cut across sub-disciplines or involve interdisciplinary collaborations, with regional or national scale impact.
- Training projects that complement the Workforce Program in the Mathematical Sciences, especially those with broadening participation, partnerships, or replicable models.
- Conference, workshop, and travel support requests for activities spanning a wide range of mathematical sciences and with national impact.
All proposals must demonstrate engagement in strengthening the U.S. mathematical sciences infrastructure and show impact beyond the submitting institution. Activities may include broadening participation, professional development, and support for students and early-career researchers.
