About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for the Algebra and Number Theory program to support research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory, with application due October 9, 2026.

Applicant eligibility is unrestricted. The program also funds conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities. Conference proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted in May for events occurring January through April of the following year, or in October for events occurring May through December of the following year. Proposals with budget requests exceeding $50,000 should be submitted nine to twelve months before the event is scheduled to take place. Conference proposals must use the "Conference" proposal type and be submitted to PD 20-1264 via Research.gov.

The source does not specify award ceiling, award floor, expected number of awards, cost share requirements, period of performance, or place of performance. Recent awards in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) range from $45,000 for conference support to $1.26 million for large training groups, with typical research project awards between $200,000 and $500,000.

All NSF applications require submission via Grants.gov or Research.gov with completion of mandatory forms including SF 424 (R&R), Project/Performance Site Locations, Research and Related Budget, NSF Cover Page, and NSF Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded). Project narratives are limited to 15 pages, budget justifications to five pages, and data management plans to two pages. Applicants must register with SAM, obtain a Unique Entity Identifier, and establish NSF accounts before submission. Applications should be submitted at least five business days before deadlines to allow time for compliance corrections.

The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. Conference proposals
The Algebra and Number Theory program also provides support for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities. Proposals should be submitted to PD 20-1264 using the "Conference" proposal type in research.gov. Proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000, which in accordance with NSF policy can be reviewed internally, should be submitted:

  • in May for events that will take place in January through April of the following year
  • in October for events that will take place in May through December of the following year.

In order to allow time for external review, proposals with budget requests exceeding $50,000 should be submitted nine to twelve months before the event is scheduled to take place.

Update #2 ·

The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. Conferences Principal Investigators should carefully read the program solicitation "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" (link below) to obtain important information regarding the substance of proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities. Conference proposals for meetings with budget requests not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted six to twelve months in advance of the event. Conference proposals for meetings with budget requests exceeding $50,000 should be submitted nine to twelve months in advance of the event.

The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. Conferences Principal Investigators should carefully read the program solicitation "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" (link below) to obtain important information regarding the substance of proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities. For conference proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000, which in accordance with NSF policy can be reviewed internally at NSF, the following target dates are in effect: For events that will take place between March and December in a given year, proposals should be submitted in October of the previous year. For events that will occur in January or February of a given year, proposals should be submitted in May of the preceding year. In order to allow time for external review, conference proposals with budget requests exceeding $50,000 should be submitted roughly seven months before the event is scheduled to take place. For fiscal year 2021, the October target dates for conference proposals are waived in view of the current pandemic. Conference proposals for meetings with budget requests not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted at least four months in advance of the event.
