Lawrence University was awarded a $192,905 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences on September 1, 2021. The grant is titled "LEAPS-MPS: MODULI OF STABLE SURFACES AND BEYOND" and will support research through August 31, 2023.
The grant funds research under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the award will support Lawrence University's work investigating moduli of stable surfaces and related topics. The university, located in Little Chute, Wisconsin, will leverage the $192,905 over two years to advance understanding of major problems in mathematics and physics.
