2024 Summer Research in Mathematics at SLMath

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath, formerly known as MSRI) in Berkeley, California, invites applications for the 2024 Summer Research in Mathematics (SRiM) program. This program provides space, funding, and the opportunity for in-person collaboration to small groups of mathematicians with partial results on an established project, especially women and gender-expansive individuals, whose ongoing research may have been disproportionately affected by various obstacles including family obligations, professional isolation, or access to funding. Through this effort, SLMath aims to mitigate the obstacles faced by these groups, improve the odds of research project completion, and deepen their research experience.

Program Eligibility

• Groups of two to six mathematicians with partial results on an established project may submit an application to the program. Each member of the group must have a Ph.D.or advanced graduate standing in the mathematical sciences. At least one team member must be US based.
• Each group may apply to be in residence at SLMath for a minimum of two weeks. All members of the group must be in residence for the full duration of the visit.
• The visits to SLMath must take place between June 10 - July 26, 2024.
• Applications will be hosted on Math Programs July 1 - October 8, 2023. Applications require a Project Description, a statement on alignment with program goals, as well as additional information on group members and research plans.
• Funding & Support: All participants receive lodging, meals, travel expenses, and post-programmatic travel support. SLMath is pleased to be able to offer a private room for nursing parents. Childcare grants are available for researchers with children under the age of 17 (limited to US Citizens and Permanent Residents, and foreign visitors with a visa status that allows for compensation, such as a J1).

SLMath has been supported from its origins by the National Science Foundation, now joined by the National Security Agency, over 100 Academic Sponsor departments, by a range of private foundations, and by generous and farsighted individuals
