CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: The program is intended to support high-risk theoretical 
 mathematics\, physics and computer science projects of exceptional promise
  and scientific importance on a case-by-case basis.\n\nFunding: The Target
 ed Grant in MPS program provides funding for up to five years. The funding
  level and duration is flexible and should be appropriate based on the typ
 e of support requested in the proposal. There is no recommended or assumed
  funding level for this program.\n\nDuration: Up to 5 years\n\nEligibility
 : Applications may be submitted by established U.S. and foreign public and
  private educational institutions and stand-alone research centers. PIs an
 d co-Investigators must have a Ph.D. and a tenure-track or tenured positio
 n at said institutions or centers at the time of application. There are no
  citizenship or department requirements for PIs. Funding to U.S. national 
 labs or salary support of scientists employed at these labs is not allowed
 . Scientists employed at national labs may be non-funded participants in a
  proposal/project and funding may be used to support travel or local expen
 ses related to the participation of the lab-based scientist in activities 
 related to the project.\n\nApplication: Applicants must submit a Letter of
  Intent (LOI) through proposalCENTRAL (https://proposalcentral.altum.com/d
 efault.asp).\n\nApplicants will be notified of a decision within two month
 s of the LOI submission.\nPlease note that the volume of interest in this 
 program is such that the foundation is not able to provide advance guidanc
 e on potential proposals. The foundation uses the LOI stage to assess suit
 ability and novelty. The foundation recommends submitting an LOI if an app
 licant believes his/her research meets the criteria outlined in the RFA.\n
 \nDeadline: The deadline is rolling and an LOI can be submitted at any tim
 e.\n\nFurther Information\n\n	Please refer to the How to Apply tab for ins
