The American Mathematical Society is pleased to offer this program to foster and support research collaboration by mathematicians employed full-time at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), i.e., those colleges and universities that do not award doctoral degrees in mathematics. With generous funding from the Simons Foundation; the AMS; and Eve, Kirsten, Lenore, and Ada of the Menger family, at least 40 awards will be made per year. In support of the AMS’s continuing efforts to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in the mathematical research enterprise, we strongly encourage and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The AMS is committed to selecting a diverse group of researchers from PUIs across the country, from small liberal arts colleges to large public universities with master’s (but not doctoral) mathematics degree programs.

Each year for three years, awardees will receive up to $3,000 to support research-related activities. Annual discretionary funds for an awardee’s department and administrative funds for an awardee's institution will be available to institutions that administer the grant on behalf of the AMS. No additional institutional overhead or indirect costs will be covered with these award funds.
Mathematicians with an active research program employed full-time in tenured or tenure-track positions at PUIs in the United States are eligible to apply. For the purpose of this program, PUI institutions are colleges and universities that do not confer doctoral degrees in mathematics. Additionally, to be eligible, applicants must have earned a PhD degree at least five years before the start of the grant. For the 2025 application cycle, that is prior to August 1, 2020.
The applicant's research must be in a disciplinary research area supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Faculty with appointments solely in statistics departments are not eligible. The intended awardees will not concurrently hold external research funding exceeding up to $3,000 per year and will not be in residence at a National Science Foundation institute. Additionally, no more than two applicants will be awarded from the same institution each application cycle. No person may receive an AMS-Simons Research Enhancement for PUI grant more than once.
Applications will be accepted on MathPrograms.org in January 2025.
Applicants will be notified of their status via email in late June 2025.
For 2025–2026 awardees, reimbursable expenses may be incurred no earlier than July 1, 2025.
And anything else requested in the program description.
The application is closed on MathPrograms.org, until January 2025. Review the PowerPoint presentation from the November 2023 informational webinar for prospective applicants.
