The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering funding through the Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (RTG) program, with the aim of enhancing the nation's scientific competitiveness by increasing the number of U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents pursuing careers in mathematical sciences across academia, government, and industry. The program supports graduate student training and professional development through collaborative research groups, which may also include undergraduates or postdoctoral trainees.

Eligible applicants are U.S.-based institutions of higher education (IHEs) that grant doctoral degrees in mathematical sciences, either applying individually or as the lead institution in a collaborative proposal. Participating trainees must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents. The program encourages proposals in all mathematical science fields, with special emphasis on integrating research with areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Quantum Computing, and Cybersecurity for the 2024-2025 funding cycle. The funding opportunity has a total estimated program budget of $12,000,000, with individual awards ranging from $400,000 to $600,000. The application deadline is August 12, 2025.
