Mathematical Sciences Grants

 

1. The NSA grants program seeks to stimulate new and important developments in the field areas of algebra, discrete mathematics, number theory, probability and statistics. 2. The program also seeks to increase the quantity and quality of domestic mathematical talent for the benefit of NSA and the nation. 3. In addition, the program seeks to improve mathematical opportunities to disadvantaged groups within the nation.

Active 12.901 National Security Agency, Department of Defense B - Project Grants; Z - Salaries and Expenses Not applicable. National Security Act of 1959, Sections 13 (a) and 10 (a), Public Law -86-36, 50 U.S.C. 402 All those receiving support from our grants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Investigators must be an employee of a U.S. college or university. The principal investigator and all graduate students must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident of the U.S.. This will benefit researchers in the mathematical sciences who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents as well as their students who are U. S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.. The grant recipient shall certify that individuals meet the eligibility requirements as detailed in the "Who may submit" section of the Submission guidelines. Preapplication coordination is not applicable. 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards applies to this program. Principal investigators submit proposals for the support of undirected research, for the support of research conferences or meetings, and for programs of enrichment in specified mathematical areas. Principal investigators submit proposals in accordance with the proposal submission guidelines outlined at https: www.nsa.gov. Proposal submissions meeting the criteria of the NSA program are peer reviewed and ranked according to their merit and how well they advance the goals of the program. The reviewing and ranking are performed not only by a committee of experts within the NSA, but also by committees established by the American Mathematical Society. NSA determines which submissions receive support together with the amount of support to be provided and notifies those who have submitted proposals of the final decision regarding their submission. Subsequent to this notification, funds will be provided in a timely manner, contingent upon appropriation and authorization by Congress, to the NSA Grants office, for processing of a Grant Award. APPLICANTS SHALL NOT MAKE ANY EXPENDITURES PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF A GRANT AWARD DOCUMENT FROM THE NSA GRANTS OFFICER. September 1, 2015 to October 15, 2015 Each year, proposals are accepted from September 1st through October 15th for awards in the following fiscal year. No submissions received after the October 15th closing date will be accepted. Approval/Disapproval time frame ranges generally from 6 to 9 months. None Options for a second year of support may be proposed,and if accepted, grants with these options may be exercised at the sole discretion of the government. In all other situations, only no-cost extensions will be allowed when work is not completed. Funds will remain. Criteria is dependent upon the type of proposal received. Individual research, conference/meeting, or undergraduate research experience. Primarily criteria for individual research are the qualifications of the principal investigator and quality of the research proposed. Cost is considered when deciding upon funding e.g., up to two months of summer salary and /or student support, depending on the research grant type. The government reserves the right to partially fund any successful proposal based upon availability of funds. Summer salary, professional travel, publishing costs, undergraduate support, graduate student support, postdoctoral support, and conference support. No more than two summer months support based upon the type of grant that is awarded. No released time from teaching during the regular academic year. Not applicable. Not applicable. Record keeping requirements are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award, which will include appropriate provisions related to recipient records that are required by the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs). Statutory formula is not applicable to this assistance listing.

Matching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing.

MOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. Assistance funds are available for a period of up 12 months, unless an option has been proposed, and accepted for 12 additional months. Conferences, may be funded for a shorter period of time. Funds are released upon receipt of an acceptable invoice by the Finance and Accounting Office, in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-110 and the General Provisions for NSA Grants and Cooperative Agreements Attachment provided with each awarded grant.
