After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
MPS-Ascend Program Overview
The Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MPS-Ascend) (NSF 23-501) program supports postdoctoral fellows performing impactful research in MPS fields while broadening the participation of groups that are underrepresented in the mathematical and physical sciences. The program is intended to recognize beginning investigators of significant potential and provide them with experience in research that will broaden perspectives and facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and to help broaden participation within MPS fields. The program funds postdoctoral fellows in research environments that will have maximal impact on their future scientific development and facilitates their transition into a faculty appointment. Awards will support research in any scientific area within the purview of the five MPS Divisions: Astronomical Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics. Fellowships are awards to individuals, not institutions, and are administered by the fellows.
