Focused Research Groups (FRG) in the Mathematical Sciences
The mathematical sciences thrive on collaborative work, and certain research
projects are best carried out by teams of investigators. The NSF Division
of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) supports such research teams through the
Focused Research Group (FRG) activity. Projects supported through FRG
are scientifically highly focused, timely, and substantial in both scope
and impact. Supported projects are essentially collaborative in nature,
their success dependent on interaction of a group of researchers. Groups
may (but need not) include, in addition to mathematical scientists, researchers
from other scientific and engineering disciplines. Groups may (but need
not) include researchers from several institutions. Award size is from
$150,000 to $350,000 per year for up to three years duration. For more
information, see the DMS FRG solicitation.
The FRG solicitation for Fiscal Year 2002 can be found at

The awards made in the first DMS FRG competition are listed below. Each
award supports the work of several principal investigators, often working
at different sites. Most of these projects include substantial support
for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Click an award number
