NSF investment priorities
Promote transformational, multidisciplinary
research Investigate the human and social
dimensions of knowledge and technology Further
U.S. economic competitiveness Foster research
that improves our ability to live sustainably on
Earth Advance fundamental research in
computational science and engineering, and in
fundamental, applied and interdisciplinary
mathematics and statistics

DMS investment priorities

• Discovery
• advance the frontiers of research
• Connections
• among sub-disciplines of mathematics and
  statistics
• between mathematical and physical, biological,
  computing, engineering, and social sciences
• Community
• cultivate a capable and diverse community of
  researchers, teachers, students, professionals,
  and citizens
