Geometric Analysis PD-22-1265 National Science Foundation
This grant provides funding for researchers and academic institutions to advance studies in geometric analysis, including topics like differential geometry and mathematical physics, through individual projects and collaborative events.
Description
The Geometric Analysis program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), supports research in differential geometry, its connections to partial differential equations and variational principles, and related geometric topics. Areas of focus include global analysis, differential geometry of complex manifolds, geometric Lie group theory, convex set geometry, integral geometry, and geometric methods in modern mathematical physics. The program also funds conferences, workshops, and educational initiatives in these areas through separate solicitation guidelines.
Proposals for conferences, workshops, and similar activities must follow the NSF’s "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" program solicitation. Events with budgets up to $50,000 must be submitted at least six months in advance, while those exceeding $50,000 require submission at least eight months ahead. The program has designated submission windows for conference proposals: September 1–30 and April 1–30 annually. These proposals should carefully adhere to the solicitation requirements and NSF's Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG).
The program offers an estimated $8.8 million in total funding, with approximately 60 awards expected. Eligibility is unrestricted, allowing proposals from any type of entity, as detailed in the solicitation. Cost-sharing or matching funds are not required. The award ceiling and floor amounts are not specified, and funding levels will depend on the project scope and merit.
Applications for research grants are due by November 4, 2025, with prior deadlines for earlier cycles. Proposals should detail the research objectives, methodologies, and broader impacts aligned with NSF goals. For conference-related submissions, applicants must specify the relevance to geometric analysis and provide comprehensive budget justifications.
This program represents a significant opportunity for researchers and educators in geometric analysis to advance the field through innovative research and collaboration. Further information, including detailed guidelines, is available in the NSF Program Description PD-22-1265. For assistance, applicants can contact NSF Grants.gov Support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.
