The Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation plans a limited number of grants for the purchase and support of computing equipment for research in the mathematical sciences. The grants are intended for researchers of high quality and productivity whose research has been impaired due to lack of access to suitable equipment. Awards will be made to provide support for specific research projects rather than to provide general computing capacity. The program is intended to provide for needs that cannot be met by other research programs. Eligible applicants are U.S. educational institutions with ongoing research programs in mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics.
Proposals involving interinstitutional or interdepartmental sharing arrangements are welcome.
The application deadline is December 20, 1996.
