Opportunity Information: Apply for 17 553
The National Science Foundation (NSF) grant opportunity titled Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes (Funding Opportunity Number 17-553) supports the operation and activities of research institutes that serve as national resources for the U.S. mathematical sciences community. The central purpose is to advance high-impact research in mathematics and statistics by creating structured programs that promote both discovery and the broad dissemination of new knowledge. These institutes are designed to convene leading researchers around focused, timely problems, helping concentrate intellectual effort on areas where mathematical insight can meaningfully move a field forward.
A major theme of the program is strengthening connections between the mathematical sciences and other disciplines. NSF emphasizes that mathematics and statistics play critical enabling roles across science, engineering, technology, and many data-driven domains, so institute programs are expected not only to push the frontiers of core mathematical research but also to increase the influence and usefulness of mathematical approaches in neighboring fields. In practice, this typically means supporting activities such as thematic research programs, workshops, seminars, visitor or residency programs, and other community-facing events that encourage cross-pollination between mathematicians, statisticians, and researchers in related areas.
The opportunity also highlights institutes as community resources rather than isolated centers. NSF expects these institutes to involve a broad segment of U.S.-based mathematical sciences researchers in their activities, extending participation beyond a small group of regular attendees. Alongside research impact, the program explicitly includes workforce and community development goals: expanding the talent base engaged in mathematical research in the United States. That goal generally aligns with efforts to cultivate new researchers, broaden participation, and create pathways for students, early-career scholars, and others to enter and thrive in mathematical research environments.
This is a discretionary NSF grant program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 47.049). The listed award ceiling is $5,500,000, and NSF anticipated making about 8 awards under this solicitation. The original closing date for submissions was March 14, 2019, and the opportunity record was created on April 18, 2017. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the solicitation materials, indicating that applicants should consult the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement to confirm which organizations or arrangements NSF allows under this program.Apply for 17 553
