AAUW Community Action Grants
Sponsor: American Association of University Women Educational Foundation
Deadline(s): January 15, annually
Objectives:
The sponsor (AAUW) provides seed money for innovative programs or nondegree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. For one-year grants for start-up projects, topic areas are unrestricted but should promote education and equity for women and girls. Two-year grants are restricted to projects focused on K-12 girls' achievement in math, science, and/or technology. Projects must involve community/school collaboration.
Eligibility:
Grants are made to individual women, AAUW branches and AAUW state organizations, as well as local community-based nonprofit organizations. Applicants must be women who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Grant projects must take place within the United States or its territories. Preference is given to AAUW branch and AAUW state projects that seek collaborative partners. These may include local schools or school districts, businesses, and community-based organizations. Individual AAUW member applicants also receive special consideration.
AFOSR--Mathematics Information and Life Sciences Sponsor: Air Force Office of Scientific Research
Deadline(s):Open

A wide range of fundamental mathematical, information and computer sciences, biology, and behavioral research is supported to provide the Air Force with novel options to increase performance and operational flexibility
Algebra and Number Theory and Combinatorics (ANTC)
Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS)
Deadline(s): 1st Tuesday in October, annually
Objectives:
Supports research in algebra, including algebraic structures, general algebra, and linear algebra; number theory, including algebraic, analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, quadratic forms, and automorphic forms; combinatorics, including graph theory; and algebraic geometry.
Analysis Program
Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF); Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS)
Deadline(s): 1st Tuesday in October, annually
Objectives:
The Analysis Program supports basic research in that area of mathematics whose roots can be traced to the calculus of Newton and Leibniz. Given its centuries-old ties to physics, analysis has influenced developments from Newton’s mechanics to quantum mechanics and from Fourier’s study of heat conduction to Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism to Witten’s theory of supersymmetry. More generally, research supported by Analysis provides the theoretical underpinning for the majority of applications of the mathematical sciences to other scientific disciplines. Current areas of significant activity include: nonlinear partial differential equations; dynamical systems and ergodic theory; real, complex and harmonic analysis; operator theory and algebras of operators on Hilbert space; mathematical physics; and representation theory of Lie groups/algebras. Emerging areas include random matrix theory and its ties to classical analysis, number theory, quantum mechanics, and coding theory; and development of noncommutative geometry with its applications to modeling physical phenomena. It should be stressed, however, that the underlying role of the Analysis Program is to provide support for research in mathematics at the most fundamental level. Although this is often done with the expectation that the research will generate a payoff in applications at some point down the road, the principal mission of the Program is to tend and replenish an important reservoir of mathematical knowledge, maintaining it as a dependable resource to be drawn upon by engineers, life and physical scientists, and other mathematical scientists, as need arises.

ASA/NCHS Research Fellowship Program
Sponsor: American Statistical Association (ASA)
Deadline(s):November 30 annually
Objectives:
The American Statistical Association (ASA), in cooperation with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), announces the creation of an ASA/NCHS Research Fellows Program. The program's objective is to bridge the gap between academic scholars and the government's health research programs. Selected fellows are provided the unique opportunity to work on methodological problems and analytic issues relevant to NCHS programs. They will work on research projects in residence at NCHS, use NCHS data and facilities, and interact with the NCHS staff. The mission of the NCHS is to provide statistical information that will guide actions and policies to improve the health of the American people.
As the Nation's principal health statistics agency, NCHS designs, develops, and maintains more than a dozen data systems that cover the full spectrum of health concerns. These data systems provide essential information to policymakers, to medical researchers, and to others in the health community. Some of the NCHS data systems and surveys are ongoing annual systems while others are conducted periodically at intervals. The center has two major types of data systems: systems based on populations, containing data collected through personal interviews or examinations, and systems based on records, containing data collected from vital and medical records. Data from both of these systems and surveys are released in electronic format, and results are reported in a variety of publications. Fellows will conduct their research at NCHS in Hyattsville, Maryland. Eligibility:
Applicants for the fellowship program should have a recognized research record and considerable expertise in their areas of proposed research.

Federal Statistics
Sponsor: Sloan Foundation, Alfred P.; Selected National Issues
Deadline(s): Continuous
Objectives:
The goal for the Selected National Issues Program is to contribute to major issues of our time in a way appropriate to the foundation's expertise and size. The foundation contributes to an already widely recognized problem only when utilizing a special approach. The broad goal of the Federal Statistics set of grants is to improve the conceptual underpinnings of federal statistics, especially economic statistics. Many such statistics have become increasingly problematic, especially as the economy has come to be dominated by hard-to-measure service activities and information technologies.
A 1998 grant to the Brookings Institution supports work to improve conceptualization and measurement of productivity in the now-dominant service sector of the U.S. economy. A 1998 officer grant enabled the American Statistical Association to convene a high-level workshop of Federal and non-governmental experts to discuss what was needed. During 2000, these efforts contributed meaningfully to actions by the leaderships of key federal statistical agencies to establish two new official advisory committees on federal economic statistics, with memberships that include many of the outstanding non-government experts in the country. The Bureau of Economic Analysis established it's Committee Charge and Membership.
In addition, a tripartite committee and membership was established jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Bureau of the Census to provide expert advice on statistical questions that cut across the mandates of these there agencies. The foundation is interested in additional promising activities in this area. Eligibility:
The foundation is generally limited to supporting tax-exempt institutions.
