About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is accepting applications for grants supporting mathematical research in computational mathematics with a December 1, 2026 deadline. The program is unrestricted as to applicant type.
The program emphasizes mathematical research where computation plays a central and essential role, with focus on analysis, development, and implementation of theoretically justified and efficient algorithms and symbolic methods. Single-investigator projects developing and analyzing innovative computational methods are supported, as are interdisciplinary team projects that create and analyze new computational mathematics techniques and implement them to model, study, and solve important application problems. Proposals providing opportunities for rigorous mathematical training of junior computational mathematicians through research involvement are encouraged.
Proposals for conferences or workshops must be submitted through the separate "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" solicitation. Conference proposals for events held in the US must be submitted at least 6 months in advance of the conference start date; proposals to support group travel to meetings outside the US must be submitted at least 8 months in advance. Conference proposals with budget requests exceeding $50,000 must be submitted during the annual Computational Mathematics Program submission window. Conference proposals not conforming to these timing requirements will be returned without review.
This opportunity operates under CFDA 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences). The program is part of NSF's Division of Mathematical Sciences, which has obligated $2.3 billion across 8,177 awards historically, with typical research project awards in the $200,000 to $500,000 range.
Synopsis

Update #2 · Latest ·
Supports mathematical research in areas where computation plays a central and essential role, emphasizing analysis, development, and implementation of theoretically justified and efficient algorithms. The combination of these elements resulting in innovative computational methods is a hallmark of the program. Proposals ranging from single investigator to interdisciplinary team projects that not only create and analyze new computational mathematics techniques but also implement them to model, study, and solve important application problems are strongly encouraged, as is providing opportunities for rigorous mathematical training of junior computational mathematicians through research involvement. Conferences Proposals to the Computational Mathematics Program for conferences or workshops must be submitted through the program solicitation "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" (link below). Principal Investigators should carefully read the solicitation to obtain important information regarding the substance of proposals for conferences, workshops, and similar activities. Unless an exception from the program is granted, to facilitate timely notification of the availability of support, the following requirements are in effect:
- Proposals for conferences, workshops, etc., to be held in the US must be submitted at least 6 months in advance of the conference start date;
- Proposals to support group travel to meetings outside the US must be submitted at least 8 months in advance of the meeting start date;
- Proposals for conferences, workshops, etc., whose budget request exceeds $50,000 must be submitted during the annual Computational Mathematics Program submission window.
Conference proposals to the Computational Mathematics Program whose submission dates do not conform with the requirements described above will be returned without review.
Update #1 ·
Supports mathematical research in areas of science where computation plays a central and essential role, emphasizing analysis, development and implementation of numerical methods and algorithms, and symbolic methods. The prominence of computation with analysis and ultimate implementation efficiency of the computational methods in the research is a hallmark of the program. Proposals ranging from single-investigator projects that develop and analyze innovative computational methods to interdisciplinary team projects that not only create and analyze new mathematical and computational techniques but also use/implement them to model, study, and solve important application problems are strongly encouraged.
