Description

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) enhances our nation's economic growth, security and quality of life by advancing human understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe at all scales. In addition to supporting basic science, world-class research facilities and high-tech infrastructure, MPS also aims to expand and strengthen the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce by investing in a broad range of training and mentorship opportunities across the U.S.

MPS supports the fundamental science behind countless innovations that have improved our lives: From PET scans that use antimatter to reveal cancerous tumors to life-saving cardiovascular stents made of advanced materials to the atomic clocks behind your phone's GPS-based navigation. MPS harnesses the collective power of the mathematical and physical sciences communities to:

Pursue the most compelling scientific questions.
Train the advanced U.S. workforce of the future.
Enable the fundamental breakthroughs required for innovations that can enhance our nation's health, security and quality of life.
