Simons Collaborations in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences
The Simons Foundation invites letters of intent for ambitious collaborations addressing fundamental questions of major importance in mathematics, theoretical physics, or theoretical computer science. Awards support multi-investigator teams across career stages for four years, with up to three new collaborations expected to begin in January 2028.
Targeted Grants to Institutes
Supports established institutes and research centers in mathematics and the physical sciences to strengthen contacts within the international scientific community; up to $750,000 (inclusive of 20% indirect costs) over a three-year award period, with up to ten grants each year.
Targeted Grants in MPS
Supports high-risk projects of exceptional promise and scientific importance in mathematics and the physical sciences, with funding for up to five years; letters of intent are accepted on a rolling basis and there is no recommended or assumed funding level.
EPSRC New Investigator Award: applicant-led mode
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council supports early-career researchers making their first application as project lead to develop an independent research vision and establish a research group. Applications can address any EPSRC-remit field, including artificial intelligence, healthcare technologies, engineering, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, clean energy, security, and quantum technologies.
