Algorithms for Modern Power Systems

The Algorithms for Modern Power Systems (AMPS) program is a partnership between the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Electricity Delivery & Energy Reliability (OE) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The program seeks to support research projects that develop the next generation of mathematical and statistical algorithms to improve the security, reliability, and efficiency of the modern power grid. The program is open to all applicant types, and proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to advance scientific knowledge and address complex challenges in the field. The deadline for submitting proposals is February 9, 2026.

The AMPS program offers grant funding to support the proposed research projects. While the exact award values are not specified, the Federal Grant Programs under which this opportunity is assigned, such as the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program, typically provide a wide range of funding amounts, from approximately $40,000 to over $2.2 million, usually spanning 1-5 year project periods. The research is expected to be performed at the awardee's academic or research facilities across the United States.
