Travel Grant Program for ICM 2010

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has committed to fund partial travel support for U.S. mathematicians attending the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2010) August 19-27, 2010, in Hyderabad, India. The Society is preparing to administer the selection process, which would be similar to previous programs funded in 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006.

We moved to a new online application process for this travel grant program.  Please click on your category to apply:

PhD recipients 2002 or earlier

PhD recipients 2003-present

Invited Speaker only 

The application period has been extended through November 25, 2009.

This travel grant program is being administered by the Membership and Programs Department, AMS, 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904-2294. You can contact the AMS at ICM2010@ams.org, 800-321-4267, ext. 4113 or 401-455-4113.

This program is open to U.S. mathematicians or those who are currently affiliated with a U.S. institution.  Early career mathematicians (those within six years of their doctorate), women, and members of U.S. groups underrepresented in mathematics are especially encouraged to apply.  ICM 2010 Invited Speakers from U.S. institutions should submit applications, if funding is desired.  

Applications will be evaluated by a panel of mathematical scientists under the terms of an agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF) by the Society.  Applications are being accepted on an electronic application system until November 25, 2009.  Graduate students or those within six years of receipt of the PhD may have one or two letters of recommendation submitted; for all others, letters are not needed or allowed.

The following conditions will apply: mathematicians accepting grants for partial support of the travel to ICM 2010 may not supplement them with any other NSF funds.  Currently, it is the intention of the NSF's Division of Mathematical Sciences to provide no additional funds on its other regular research grants for travel to ICM in 2010.  However, an individual mathematician who does not receive a travel grant may use regular NSF grant funds, subject to the usual restrictions and prior approval requirements.
