Applied Mathematics

The Applied Mathematics program supports mathematics research motivated by and contributing to the solution of problems arising in science and engineering. Successful proposals must demonstrate mathematical innovation, as well as breadth and quality of impact on applications. Projects that also provide opportunities for rigorous mathematical training of junior applied mathematicians through their involvement in research are welcome. The proposals considered by the Applied Mathematics program may range from single investigator to interdisciplinary team projects.  

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

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 Applied Mathematics must be submitted to the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation using the "conference" or “travel” proposal type in research.gov. Proposers should select Applied Mathematics 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.
