About this grant
The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research in algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory.
Conference proposals
The Algebra and Number Theory program also provides support for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities. Proposals should be submitted to PD 20-1264 using the "Conference" proposal type in research.gov.
Proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000, which in accordance with NSF policy can be reviewed internally, should be submitted:
