Algebra and Number Theory

The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, representation theory, and related topics. The program encourages proposals in all areas of algebra and number theory that are aligned with NSF priority areas.  

Target submission date: Proposals should be submitted to MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation. Target date for submissions is the  Second Friday in October.  

While proposals are accepted anytime, proposers are highly encouraged to submit by the target date to ensure consideration during the corresponding panel review cycle.

Conferences  

Proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities in Algebra and Number Theory  must be submitted to the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation using the "conference" or “travel” proposal type in research.gov. Proposers should select Algebra and Number Theory as the program of interest.   

For proposals seeking no more than $50,000, submit at least six months in advance of the conference or workshop date. For proposals seeking more than $50,000, submit at least nine months in advance of the conference or workshop date.
