AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grants for Primarily Undergraduate Institution Faculty Grant uri icon

abstract

  • I am writing to express my sincere interest in the AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grants for Primarily Undergraduate Institution Faculty and to submit my application for your consideration. I am seeking your support to advance my research endeavors in the field of mathematical biology.

    The primary goal of this grant application is to secure funding for attending key conferences in my field and fostering collaborative initiatives with researchers from other institutions who share similar research interests. My research is dedicated to unraveling the intricate neuronal activity patterns in the brain through a combination of empirical studies and mathematical modeling studies. Conferences serve as invaluable platforms for expanding my research agenda, facilitating collaboration with peers and fellow researchers, and staying abreast of current trends in research. Unfortunately, at present, I lack both internal and external funds for conference attendance, and our university's resources for supporting faculty travel are limited. Hence, the AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grants are pivotal for the continuity and progression of my research.

    Given the computationally intensive nature of my research, involving the analysis of large datasets and numerical solutions for a large system of differential equations in neuronal network modeling, the acquisition of a high-end desktop computer becomes crucial. The current desktop computer, in use for almost nine years, is significantly outdated, resulting in inadequate computational power and performance. Regrettably, there is currently no support available for replacing this aging system. Therefore, a grant to obtain a new high-end desktop computer is essential to ensuring the continued success and productivity of my research.

    I am more than willing to address any queries you may have and am enthusiastic about the prospect of discussing my application in greater detail. I want to express my gratitude for considering my request, and I sincerely appreciate your valuable time and attention.
