Computational Mathematics
Description
Supports research in algorithms, numerical, and symbolic methods, and research in all areas of the mathematical sciences in which computation plays a central and essential role. The prominence of computation in the research is a key distinction between Applied and Computational Mathematics. Proposals from interdisciplinary teams to develop critical mathematical and computational techniques from modeling and algorithm development through implementation are encouraged. Proposals for innovative computational methods within the mathematical sciences are also encouraged.
Due Dates
Proposals must be submitted by the following date(s):
- Full Proposal Target Date(s):
Computational Mathematics has a target date of the first week of December;
any time in those seven days is fine. A week late is no real problem, a
month late is a severe handicap, a month early is a smaller but real handicap,
and anything outside the window of November 1 - December 31 is not accepted.
There is a window of two months in which to submit proposals because the
Foundation aims to reach decisions on proposals within 6 months of their
submission, and proposals submitted too far away from the target date
cannot be reviewed adequately within this 6-month constraint and the
constraints imposed by the funding cycle.
Within this two-month window, a proposal that arrives late may miss
important reviewing opportunities, such as panels or reviews with other
programs. A proposal also is handicapped by arriving a few weeks earlier
than all the other proposals we have in that same area: we are forced to
decide whether we want to recommend an award or a declination before we
can well see how it stands against those other proposals. In our experience,
proposals put to this early test in any part of Applied Mathematics or
Computational Mathematics are at a disadvantage. Submitting a proposal
close to its target date gives it the most advantageous circumstances.
