Synopsis
The Combinatorics program supports research on discrete structures and includes the areas listed below.
Target submission date: Proposals should be submitted to MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation. Target date for submissions is the Fourth Tuesday in September.
While proposals are accepted anytime, proposers are highly encouraged to submit by the target date to ensure consideration during the corresponding panel review cycle.
· Algebraic combinatorics
· Enumerative combinatorics
· Existential combinatorics
· Extremal combinatorics
· Geometric combinatorics
· Probabilistic combinatorics
· Graph theory
Conferences
Proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools and similar activities in Combinatorics must be submitted to the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation using the "conference" or “travel” proposal type in research.gov. Proposers should select Combinatorics as the program of interest. As indicated in the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation, 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.
