Mitigating the COVID-19 Pandemic's Impact on MPS Mission and Activities
Message from NSF Assistant Director Sean Jones, head of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate
"Research projects in all fields have been hampered by the pandemic as universities and other institutions limited in-person work, group gatherings, facility access, and travel. In response, the National Science Foundation provided RAPID funding grants, extended deadlines, and approved other funding flexibilities to enable continued support for researchers whose projects were impacted by the pandemic. As the pandemic enters its second year, NSF is developing additional mechanisms to mitigate its impact on the research enterprise.
The Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences has many existing funding mechanisms designed to enable cutting edge research while supporting diversity and scientific training across career stages. As the pandemic has persisted and has particularly affected early career researchers and those at historically underserved institutions, we must find additional innovative ways to maintain the strength of the scientific enterprise. If you or your colleagues could benefit from the opportunities below, we encourage you to reach out and help spread the word."

Support for Research Excellence - First Independent Research (SuRE-First) Award: PAR-21-173 and Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Award: PAR-21-169 - Applications Due: 05/26/2021
SuRE is a research capacity building program designed to develop and sustain research excellence in U.S. higher education institutions that receive limited NIH research support and serve students from groups underrepresented in biomedical research (see NOT-OD-20-031) with an emphasis on providing students with research opportunities and enriching the research environment at the applicant institutions.
The purpose of SuRE-First awards is to support research grants for faculty investigators who have not had prior independent external research grants.
The purpose of SuRE awards is to provide research grant support for faculty investigators who have prior experience in leading externally-funded, independent research but are not currently funded by any NIH Research Project Grants with the exception of SuRE or SuRE-First awards.
