Artificial Intelligence, Formal Methods, and Mathematical Reasoning (AIMing)

The Artificial Intelligence, Formal Methods, and Mathematical Reasoning (AIMing) program is an NSF grant solicitation aimed at advancing research that fuses cutting‑edge AI technologies with formal methods and mathematical reasoning tools to automate knowledge discovery. The program encourages proposals that develop new algorithms, theorem‑proving systems, or AI‑driven verification techniques that can generate conjectures, construct proofs, or verify results across mathematics, computer science, and related disciplines. Funding is limited to ten awards with a total estimated budget of $6 million and a maximum award ceiling of $1.2 million per project. Eligible applicants include U.S. non‑profit research entities, higher‑education institutions, and certain non‑academic organizations; principal investigators must hold tenure‑track or full‑time research/teaching positions at U.S. campuses. The solicitation was posted on October 13, 2026 and closed on October 14, 2026 (now archived). • Focus areas: AI‑enhanced formal methods, interactive theorem proving, automated conjecture generation, verification of mathematical results. • Funding mechanism: NSF Grant (Award ceiling $1.2 M, total $6 M across ~10 awards). • Eligible entities: U.S. non‑profit research labs, museums, professional societies, and accredited higher‑education institutions. • PI eligibility: Tenured/tenure‑track or full‑time research/teaching appointment at a U.S. campus. • Submission window: Open Oct 13–Oct 14, 2026 (now archived). • Contact: Stacey Levine, [email protected], (703) 292‑2948.
