2025 Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA) Travel Grants Selection Committee
General Description
- Committee is ad hoc
- Number of members is 12–14 appointed by the AMS President
- Term is approximately 1 year
Principal Activities
Contingent on receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation, the MCA 2025 travel grant program is intended to provide partial travel support for the U.S.-based mathematicians to attend the Mathematical Congress of the Americas, July 21–July 25, 2025 in Miami, Florida. It is expected that this travel grant program will provide travel support for U.S.-based mathematicians who do not have external funding; early career mathematicians will receive priority.
More information about this program is available on the AMS website: https://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca.
Applications will be evaluated by this panel under the terms of a proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF) by the Society.
Statement on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
(as adopted by the April 2019 Council)
The American Mathematical Society is committed to promoting and facilitating equity, diversity and inclusion throughout the mathematical sciences. For its own long-term prosperity as well as that of the public at large, our discipline must connect with and appropriately incorporate all sectors of society. We reaffirm the pledge in the AMS Mission Statement to "advance the status of the profession of mathematics, encouraging and facilitating full participation of all individuals," and urge all members to conduct their professional activities with this goal in mind.
Other Activities
For any program, fellowship, prize or award that has a maximum period of eligibility after receipt of the doctoral degree, the selection committee may use discretion in making exceptions to the limit on eligibility for candidates whose careers have been interrupted for reasons such as family or health.
Miscellaneous Information
The business of this committee can be done by email or video conference.
Note to the Chair
For the purpose of archiving the committee activities, the Secretary maintains a central file system for archiving committee records.
