The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences (MPS) division invites applications for the Targeted Grants to Institutes program. The program is intended to support established institutes or centers in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science through funding to help strengthen contacts within the international scientific community. Our aim is to enable institutes to extend and enhance their missions; this program will not provide primary support for operating or establishing an institute. The Targeted Grants to Institutes program provides funding for up to three years and up to $250,000 per year, which includes up to 20 percent of direct costs per year in indirect costs to the institution, per the foundation’s indirect cost policy. Awards can begin no earlier than January 1, 2024, and must begin no later than July 1, 2024.
