About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for Focused Research Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (MS-FRG), a grant program supporting collaborative groups employing innovative methods to solve major research challenges in mathematical sciences with no stated application deadline in the source material.
Eligible applicant types are listed as "Other" in the source; the NOFO should be consulted for specific institutional or organizational categories. Cost share and matching requirements are not specified in the source material provided.
Award ceiling, award floor, and expected number of awards are not stated. The program funds projects limited in duration to up to three years; funded projects demonstrating substantial progress in their first two years may be recommended for a creativity extension of up to an additional two years. Place of performance is not specified in the source material.
The program seeks to support collaborative groups addressing outstanding problems of significant importance requiring focused and synergistic effort with wide impacts in the mathematical sciences and potentially in other disciplines. Groups may include statisticians, mathematicians, and researchers from other science and engineering disciplines appropriate to the proposed research. The program explicitly welcomes risky and interdisciplinary projects that are timely and substantial in scope and impact.
The program operates under CFDA 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences) within the National Science Foundation, which historically obligates approximately $2.3 billion annually across 8,177 awards in the broader Mathematical Sciences Division, with typical research project awards ranging from $200,000 to $500,000.
Synopsis
The purpose of the Focused Research Group activity is to support collaborative groups employing innovative methods to solve specific, major research challenges in the mathematical sciences. A major challenge is an outstanding problem of significant importance that requires the focused and synergistic efforts of a collaborative group to solve, and whose solution will have wide impacts in the mathematical sciences and potentially in other areas. Groups may include, in addition to statisticians and mathematicians, researchers from other science and engineering disciplines appropriate for the proposed research. Risky projects are welcome. Interdisciplinary projects are welcome. Projects should be timely, limited in duration to up to three years, and substantial in their scope and impact for the mathematical sciences. Funded projects that show substantial progress in their first two years may be recommended for a creativity extension for up to an additional two years.
