AI summary

NSF’s Division of Mathematical Sciences is seeking proposals for Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes that advance research in the mathematical sciences, increase their impact in other fields, and broaden participation in mathematical research in the United States. Eligible applicants are U.S.-located two- and four-year colleges and universities, including community colleges, and U.S.-located nonprofit non-academic organizations such as museums, observatories, research laboratories, and professional societies; consortia are allowed if one entity takes overall management responsibility. Up to eight awards may be made, with a total of up to $40 million available in FY 2025; awards are expected to be about $2.5 million to $6 million per year for up to five years. There is no stated cost-share requirement. The program is national in scope, and proposals must be open to the full relevant U.S. community, with participation primarily supporting U.S.-based mathematical scientists.

Official description from grants.gov

Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes are national resources that aim to advance research in the mathematical sciences through programs supporting discovery and dissemination of knowledge in mathematics and statistics and enhancing connections to related fields in which the mathematical sciences can play important roles. Institute activities help focus the attention of some of the best mathematical minds on problems of particular importance and timeliness. Institutes are also community resources that involve a broad segment of U.S.-based mathematical sciences researchers in their activities. The goals of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes program include advancing research in the mathematical sciences, increasing the impact of the mathematical sciences in other disciplines, and expanding the talent base engaged in mathematical research in the United States.
