About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is seeking applications for research in Mathematical Biology, with proposals due October 14, 2026. The program funds research in all areas of mathematical sciences with relevance to the biological sciences; successful proposals must demonstrate mathematical innovation, biological relevance and significance, and strong integration between mathematics and biology.
Applicants are unrestricted by category. The program funds projects including development of mathematical theories, methodologies, and tools from other disciplinary programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences—such as topology, probability, statistics, and computational mathematics—applied to biological problems. The Mathematical Biology Program regularly seeks joint reviews with programs in the Directorates of Biological Sciences and other relevant programs; investigators are encouraged to contact program officers in relevant areas to determine whether projects could be considered by more than one program.
Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) proposals follow modified proposal format rules specified in the RUI solicitation. Prior to submitting EAGER (EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) or RAPID (Rapid Response Research) proposals, investigators must contact the cognizant program directors. Principal investigators are encouraged to contact the cognizant program director prior to submission of proposals for award supplements.
Funding is provided under CFDA 47.049 (Mathematical and Physical Sciences), administered by NSF's Division of Mathematical Sciences. The program follows NSF's standard proposal and award policies as outlined in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), with applications submitted through Grants.gov requiring completion of standard NSF forms and compliance with NSF-specific requirements including data management plans and senior personnel salary limits.
Synopsis

Update #2 · Latest ·
The Mathematical Biology Program supports research in all areas of mathematical sciences with relevance to the biological sciences. Successful proposals must demonstrate mathematical innovation, biological relevance and significance, and strong integration between mathematics and biology. Some projects of interest to the Mathematical Biology Program may include development of mathematical theories, methodologies, and tools traditionally seen in other disciplinary programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences. In general, if a proposal is appropriate for review by more than one NSF program, it is advisable to contact the program officers handling each program to determine when and where the proposal should be submitted and to facilitate the review process. The Mathematical Biology Program regularly seeks joint reviews of proposals with programs in the Directorates of Biological Sciences and other relevant programs. Investigators are encouraged to discuss their project with program officers in relevant areas to determine whether it could be considered by more than one program. Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) Investigators submitting an RUI proposal should read the RUI solicitation (link below), as the rules for proposal format may deviate from the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG). EAGER and RAPID Proposals Prior to submitting proposals for EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) or Rapid Response Research (RAPID), Investigators must contact the cognizant program directors. Requests for Award Supplements Principal Investigatorsare encouraged to contact the cognizant program director prior to submission of a proposal for an award supplement. See the PAPPG for more information. Conferences 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. To facilitate timely notification of the availability of support:
- proposals for conferences, workshops, etc., to be held in the US must be submitted 8 months in advance of the conference date;
- proposals to support group travel to meetings outside the US must be submitted 12 months in advance of the meeting date.
