Learn how we support mathematics in D.C.

Central to promotion of AMS policy priorities is to advocate for significant and sustained funding for agencies that support research and education in mathematics. Here's how:

• Biden-Harris Transition Team requested AMS priorities for the National Science Foundation
• Congressional briefings and exhibits help establish the AMS as a credible resource on a wide range of subjects
• Our Appropriations Process Primer and recent testimony to Congress explain how the federal budget works and describe AMS support for NSF funding
• We collaborate with other societies and university groups to achieve our goals, including writing and submitting position statements and letters to policymakers
• We sponsor three D.C.-based opportunities to connect mathematicians to policymaking, politics and communication
  • AMS Congressional Fellowship for Ph.D. mathematical scientists
  • Mass Media Fellowship for undergraduate and graduate students
  • Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering Workshop for graduate students
