This NSF program funds large, multi-year Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes that run research, training, and knowledge-dissemination programs in math and statistics. It is for US universities and non-profit research organizations, not for anyone running a business: for-profits and small businesses are explicitly ineligible, so if that is you, do not spend a week on this. Awards run $1.5M to $6.5M and the application burden matches that scale.

NSF funds Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes that advance research in mathematics and statistics, disseminate knowledge, and connect math to other fields. Only US institutions of higher education and non-profit, non-academic organizations (museums, research labs, professional societies) may apply; businesses are not eligible.
Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes are national resources that aim to advance research in the mathematical sciences through programs supporting discovery and dissemination of knowledge in mathematics and statistics and enhancing connections to related fields in which the mathematical sciences can play important roles. Institute activities help focus the attention of some of the best mathematical minds on problems of particular importance and timeliness. Institutes are also community resources that involve a broad segment of U.S.-based mathematical sciences researchers in their activities. The goals of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes program include advancing research in the mathematical sciences, increasing the impact of the mathematical sciences in other disciplines, and expanding the talent base engaged in mathematical research in the United States.
Our reading of the listing: for-profit businesses are not eligible for this one.
Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities.
Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.
Multi-institutional consortia are permitted, but a single entity must accept overall management responsibility.
