About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is soliciting Research Training Groups (RTG) proposals in the Mathematical Sciences through a grant program designed to strengthen the nation's scientific competitiveness. The primary objective is to increase the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens and permanent residents pursuing careers in mathematical sciences across academia, government, and industry. For the 2024-2025 funding cycle, NSF is especially interested in research proposals that integrate mathematics and statistics with emerging technological domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Quantum Computing, and Cybersecurity. The program supports collaborative research training efforts focusing on graduate student research and professional development, with the potential to include undergraduate and postdoctoral trainees. Proposals will be evaluated based on the quality of research integration, potential for scientific advancement, and comprehensive training approach for mathematical sciences researchers.
The grant opportunity, which is currently open with a submission deadline of August 11, 2026, will provide funding through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program. While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, historical NSF grant ranges typically span from $110,000 to $605,057, with project durations commonly lasting 2-5 years. The place of performance will primarily be academic research institutions and scientific facilities across the United States. Eligible applicants include academic institutions, research organizations, and other entities capable of developing structured research training groups in mathematical sciences. The program aims to support multiple research teams that demonstrate innovative approaches to mathematical sciences training and research.
Synopsis
The long-range goal of the Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (RTG) program is to strengthen the nation's scientific competitiveness by increasing the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who pursue careers in the mathematical sciences, be they in academia, government, or industry. The RTG program supports efforts to improve graduate student research training and professional development through structured groups pursuing collaborative research. In addition to graduate student trainees working with faculty members, RTG supported research teams may, but are not required to, include undergraduate or postdoctoral trainees. The RTG program invites submissions in all fields within mathematical sciences; especially encouraged in 2024-2025 are those that align and integrate research in mathematics and statistics with emerging areas such asArtificial Intelligence, Biotechnology,Quantum Computing, and Cybersecurity.
