Topology

The Topology program supports research on algebraic topology, including homotopy theory, homology and cohomology theories, cobordism theory, and K-theory; topological manifolds and cell complexes, fiberings, knots, and links; differential topology and actions of groups of transformations; and geometric group theory.

Conferences

Topology proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities must be submitted through the program solicitation "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" and list Topology as a program of interest.

The program’s submission windows for conference/travel proposals are September 1-30 and April 1-30. Proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occurs at least six months prior to the event. Proposals with budget requests that exceed $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occurs at least eight months prior to the event.

Principal Investigators should carefully read the solicitation and relevant sections of the PAPPG to obtain important information regarding the substance of such proposals and note the additional requirements for travel support requests for international events.
