Applied Mathematics
Funds mathematics driven by real problems in science and engineering — from one investigator to an interdisciplinary team.
NSF's Applied Mathematics programme funds mathematics motivated by, and contributing to, the solution of problems arising in science and engineering.
Two things have to be true of a successful proposal, and NSF states both: it must demonstrate mathematical innovation, and it must show breadth and quality of impact on applications. One without the other is not enough.
Projects can be anything fro…
Mathematics motivated by and contributing to problems arising in science and engineering, requiring both mathematical innovation and demonstrable breadth and quality of impact on applications.
