UCSC Contact: Samantha Forde forde@ucsc.edu
Funder: Simons Foundation
(1) Opportunity: Simons Fellows in Mathematics
Deadline: September 26, 2022
Funding: up to $125,000
Overview
The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for the Simons Fellows in Mathematics program to make sabbatical research leaves more productive by extending them from a single term to a full academic year.
(2) Opportunity: Targeted Grants to Institutes
Deadline: September 21, 2022
Funding: up to $750,000
Overview
The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for the Targeted Grants to Institutes program.
The program is intended to support established institutes or centers in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science through funding to help strengthen contacts within the international scientific community. The aim is to enable institutes to extend and enhance their missions; this program will not provide primary support for operating or establishing an institute.
The foundation strongly encourages the participation of scientists from underrepresented groups.
Special Instructions
Please notify the Office of Foundation Relations if you are interested in applying to this opportunity (cfr@ucsc.edu). Please submit a proposal intake form prior to UCSC’s internal Institutional Deadlines. For support developing your proposal, please contact the Research Development Specialist assigned to your unit or send a request to resdev@ucsc.edu.
