This is a National Science Foundation basic-research program in topology, a branch of pure mathematics, funding research, conferences, workshops, schools, and travel. It is for mathematicians and research institutions, not for ordinary businesses seeking operating capital. If your company does not employ researchers working on algebraic, geometric, or differential topology or topological data analysis, do not bother applying.

NSF Topology program (PD 22-1267) funds basic research in algebraic, geometric, and differential topology, including homotopy theory, K-theory, manifolds, knots, TQFTs, and topological data analysis. Also supports conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and travel. Eligibility is unrestricted; any entity, including small businesses, may apply.
The Topology program supports research on algebraic topology, including chromatic, equivariant, motivic, and (un)stable homotopy, homology and cohomology theories; bordism and K-theory; topological manifolds; knots and links; geometric topology; differential topology; transformation groups; topological quantum field theories; contact and symplectic structures; infinity and model categories; and topological data analysis.
Conferences
Topology proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools, and similar activities must be submitted to PD 22-1267 using the "Conference" or “Travel” proposal type in research.gov.
The program'ssubmission windows for conference/travel proposalsare September 1-30 and April 1-30. Proposals with budgets not exceeding $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occursat least six months prior to the event. Proposals with budget requests that exceed $50,000 should be submitted during a submission window that occursat least eight months prior to the event.
Principal Investigators should carefully read the relevant sections of the PAPPG to obtain important information regarding the substance of such proposals and note the additional requirements for travel support requests for international events.
