From the notice

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports multiple research programs at the frontiers of discovery in theoretical and applied mathematical sciences.Programs include:Algebra and Number TheoryAnalysisApplied MathematicsCombinatoricsComputational MathematicsFoundationsGeometric AnalysisMathematical BiologyProbabilityStatisticsTopologyMathematical Sciences Focused Research GroupsMathematical Sciences Infrastructure ProgramMathematical Sciences Research Training Groups NSF anticipates a portfolio of awards for these programs with a range of budgets, durations and scopes. Program budgets, number of awards, award sizes and durations are subject to the availability of funds.NSF MPS is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
