Focused Research Groups (FRG) in the Mathematical Sciences

The mathematical sciences thrive on collaborative work, and certain research projects are best carried out by teams of investigators. The NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) supports such research teams through the Focused Research Group (FRG) activity. Projects supported through FRG are scientifically highly focused, timely, and substantial in both scope and impact. Supported projects are essentially collaborative in nature, their success dependent on interaction of a group of researchers. Groups may (but need not) include, in addition to mathematical scientists, researchers from other scientific and engineering disciplines. Groups may (but need not) include researchers from several institutions. Award size is from $150,000 to $350,000 per year for up to three years duration. For more information, see the DMS FRG solicitation.

The FRG solicitation can be found at http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf02129

The awards made in the latest DMS FRG competition are listed below. Each award supports the work of several principal investigators, often working at different sites. Most of these projects include substantial support for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Click an award number to see the award abstract.
