Simons Foundation: Collaborations in Mathematics and the Physical Sciences (MPS) - LOI

The aim of the program is to stimulate progress on fundamental scientific questions of major importance in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.  A Simons Collaboration in MPS should address a mathematical or theoretical topic of fundamental scientific importance, where a significant, new development creates a novel area for exploration or provides a new direction for progress in an established field.

The project should involve outstanding researchers in a range of career stages....

Personnel: The collaboration director must hold a tenured faculty, or equivalent, position at a U.S. or Canadian educational institution... PIs, co-Is and other collaboration participants may be from non-U.S. institutions.

Funding: up to $2 million/year for an initial period of 4 years.
