The Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (MPS-Ascend) (NSF 22-501) program provides support for postdoctoral fellows who will broaden the participation of groups that are underrepresented in mathematical and physical sciences (MPS) fields in the U.S. including Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Native Pacific Islanders and enable the fellows to develop as future leaders in MPS. Awards will support research in any scientific area within the purview of the five MPS Divisions: Astronomical Sciences (AST), Chemistry (CHE), Materials Research (DMR), Mathematical Sciences (DMS), and Physics (PHY).
