NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences

This document provides an overview of the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) funding priorities and budget requests discussed by Peter March during the ASA Chairs Workshop in August 2008. It highlights support for individual researchers, small groups, institutes, and collaborative research initiatives across mathematics and statistics. The report details funding goals for FY2008, including cyber-enabled discovery, and outlines plans to foster transformational and multidisciplinary research. Emphasis is placed on cultivating a diverse community of researchers and enhancing U.S. economic competitiveness through advanced mathematical research.

  5. Funding Rate

  6. Annualized median award size

  7. NSF investment priorities Promote transformational, multidisciplinary research Investigate the human and social dimensions of knowledge and technology Further U.S. economiccompetitiveness Foster research that improves our ability to livesustainablyon Earth Advance fundamental research in computational science and engineering, and in fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary mathematics and statistics

  8. DMS investment priorities • Discovery • advance the frontiers of research • Connections • among sub-disciplines of mathematics and statistics • between mathematical and physical, biological, computing, engineering, and social sciences • Community • cultivate a capable and diverse community of researchers, teachers, students, professionals, and citizens

  9. FY08 budget request • NSF (7.7%) MPS (8.9%) DMS (8.6%) • DMS requested total($223.46M) • DMS requested increase ($17.73M) • Core disciplines: $7.3M • Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI): $5.2M • Science Beyond Moore’s Law (SBML): $1.5M • Discovery-based undergraduate experiences: $1.0M • Institutes and Networks: $2.73M

  10. FY08 omnibus appropriation • NSF (1.3%) MPS (1.5%) DMS (2.9%) • DMS estimated total($211.79M) • DMS estimated increase ($6.05M) • Core disciplines: $0.0M • Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI): $5.2M • Science Beyond Moore’s Law (SBML): $0.0M • Discovery-based undergraduate experiences: $0.0M • Institutes and Networks: $0.85M

  11. CDI Cyber-enabled Discovery & Innovation • Transformative, multidisciplinary research • From data to knowledge • Complexity in natural, built, and social systems • Virtual organizations • Advancement or innovative use of computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, tools • FY08 ($48M) FY09 ($100M) • Expect to increase by $50M/yr for 5 years
