This initiative supports fundamentally new approaches in molecular sciences to drive new directions in biotechnology, a critical and emerging technology of the 21st century. This is the third year of a campaign targeting broad themes to be pursued through collaborative...

Supports the acceleration of materials design, discovery, and development through the integration of experiments, computation and theory. Focus areas include unifying infrastructure; harnessing data; and educating, training and connecting the R&D workforce.

Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes are national resources that aim to advance research in the mathematical sciences through programs supporting discovery and dissemination of knowledge in mathematics and statistics and enhancing connections to related fields in which the mathematical sciences can...

Supports research and mentoring experiences for undergraduate students to broaden participation in the mathematical sciences.

Supports the development of advanced AI methods for geosciences research, along with associated educational and technical efforts to build capacity for adoption of AI-driven approaches by geoscientists.

Supports researchers in quantum information science, mathematical and physical sciences, or computer and information science and engineering to pursue joint research through long-term visits to a host institution.

In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of " Big Ideas," ten bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering. The Big Ideas represent unique opportunities...

Synopsis of Program: Despite decades of research, scientists do not fully understand the dynamic nature of pathogen and disease emergence. Emerging (and re-emerging) pathogens represent a continuing risk to national security because they threaten health (animal, human, and ecosystem) and...

Supports the establishment of collaborative research centers focused on mathematical sciences at the interface of molecular, cellular and organismal biology. Each center will support education and training, visitor programs, workshops and outreach.

Supports research in mathematical biology that addresses significant biological questions by applying nontrivial mathematics or developing new theories — particularly from foundational mathematics, including artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Supports research addressing cybersecurity and privacy, drawing on expertise in one or more of these areas: computing, communication and information sciences; engineering; economics; education; mathematics; statistics; and social and behavioral sciences.

Supports research in areas of applied and computational mathematics relevant to the biological and life sciences.

Supports conferences, workshops and related activities, such as multi-institutional regional meetings, summer or winter schools, and international group travel to connect the mathematical sciences community.

Supports the development of next-generation mathematical and statistical tools, and the theory underpinning those tools, to address computational or Big Data challenges.

Supports MPS-Ascending postdoctoral research fellows who transition into tenure track faculty positions in any scientific area supported by the following divisions: Astronomical Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Research, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics.
