About this program

The long-range goal of the Research Training Groups in the Mathematical Sciences (RTG) program is to strengthen the nation's scientific competitiveness by increasing the number of well-prepared U.S. citizens, nationals, and permanent residents who pursue careers in the mathematical sciences, be they in academia, government, or industry. The RTG program supports efforts to improve graduate student research training and professional development through structured groups pursuing collaborative research. In addition to graduate student trainees working with faculty members, RTG supported research teams may, but are not required to, include undergraduate or postdoctoral trainees. The RTG program invites submissions in all fields within mathematical sciences; especially encouraged in 2024-2025 are those that align and integrate research in mathematics and statistics with emerging areas such asArtificial Intelligence, Biotechnology,Quantum Computing, and Cybersecurity.

Who can apply

Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification). *Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: - Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. For proposals submitted by a single U.S.-based IHE, with or without subawards, it is required that the proposing IHE grant a doctoral degree in the mathematical sciences. For collaborative projects involving separately submitted collaborative proposals, the lead institution must grant a doctoral degree in mathematical sciences. Non-lead proposals may come from U.S.-based IHEs that do not grant a doctoral degree in mathematical sciences. *Who May Serve as PI: No restrictions on Principal Investigators. At least two and no more than eleven additional senior/key personnel are required for project activities and management. For Collaborative projects, the lead institution must grant a doctoral degree in mathematical sciences. Participating trainees (undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral associates) supported with NSF funds in RTG must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States or its territories and possessions.
