Geometric Analysis
NSF supports research in geometric analysis and related mathematical topics, plus separate conference, workshop, school, and travel support for eligible applicants.
⚑ Conference/workshop/summer-winter school/travel proposals must be submitted to PD 22-1265 using the Conference or Travel proposal type in Research.gov. · Conference/travel submission windows are September 1-30 and April 1-30. · For conference proposals: submit at least 6 months before the event if budget is $50,000 or less; at least 8 months before the event if budget exceeds $50,000. · Additional requirements apply to travel support for international events.

Description
The program in Geometric Analysis supports research on differential geometry and its relation to partial differential equations and variational principles; geometric methods in modern mathematical physics; symplectic geometry; geometric group theory; geometric data analysis; aspects of global analysis, including convex, complex, integral, and information geometries; and related geometric topics.
Conferences
Geometric Analysis proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities must be submitted to PD 22-1265 using the "Conference" or “Travel” proposal type in research.gov.
The program’s submission windows for conference/travel proposals are September 1-30 and April 1-30. Proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occursat least six months prior to the event. Proposals with budget requests that exceed $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occursat least eight months prior to the event.
Principal Investigators should carefully read the relevant sections of the PAPPG to obtain important information regarding the substance of such proposals and note the additional requirements for travel support requests for international events.
