The U.S. National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and U.S. territories. NSF was established in 1950 by Congress to promote the progress of science, advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, and secure the national defense.
The Algebra and Number Theory program supports research across various fields including algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. Specifically, the program encompasses support for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar scholarly activities. Guidance for conference proposals is detailed, including budgetary considerations and submission timelines based on the event date. Notably, there have been adjustments to target dates for conference proposals due to the pandemic, emphasizing a flexible approach to submission deadlines. This initiative seeks to facilitate scholarly exchange and advancement in the mathematical sciences through well-organized events.
