The National Science Foundation (NSF) program in Geometric Analysis supports research in various areas of geometry, focusing particularly on differential geometry and its connection to partial differential equations and variational principles. The program emphasizes research in global analysis, including topics such as the differential geometry of complex manifolds, geometric Lie group theory, and the application of geometric methods in modern mathematical physics. It also covers the geometry of convex sets, integral geometry, and other related geometric topics. The aim of this program is to advance the field of geometric analysis by fostering innovative research that integrates these mathematical principles.

In addition to standard research proposals, the program encourages the submission of proposals for conferences, workshops, and similar activities. These proposals must be submitted through the NSF solicitation "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences," with specific reference to Topology as a program of interest. The submission windows for conference and travel-related proposals occur twice a year, in September and April. Proposals with budgets under $50,000 must be submitted at least six months before the event, while those exceeding $50,000 require submission at least eight months prior. This ensures adequate time for review and preparation.

Principal Investigators (PIs) are strongly encouraged to carefully review the relevant sections of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) before submitting a proposal. For those seeking travel support, particularly for international events, additional requirements apply. These guidelines help ensure that all proposals meet the necessary standards and contain the required documentation.

The next target date for full research proposals is November 5, 2024, with this deadline recurring annually on the first Tuesday of November. Proposals can be submitted via Research.gov or Grants.gov, adhering to the respective guidelines for each platform. For specific details on preparing and submitting proposals, applicants should refer to the NSF PAPPG or the NSF Grants.gov Application Guide.

The program is administered by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). For questions or additional information, applicants may contact the program directors, whose contact details are available on the NSF website. The NSF also offers resources to browse projects funded by this program, which can serve as references for potential applicants.

This funding opportunity is designed for researchers and academic professionals in the field of geometric analysis and related areas. Proposals should demonstrate a significant contribution to advancing knowledge in the field, and conference proposals should seek to foster collaboration and dissemination of new research findings. With a focus on mathematical rigor and the advancement of modern geometric methods, this program plays a key role in supporting foundational and applied research in geometry.
