Travel Grant Program for the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA)

Applications will be welcome from U.S.-based mathematical scientists for partial travel support to attend the MCA 2021 (July 19-24, 2021) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Awards will be contingent on a pending funding request that the AMS has made to the National Science Foundation (NSF). This travel grant program provides travel support for both U.S.-based mathematical scientists and U.S.-based early career mathematicians, with priority given to the latter. The Society is administering the selection, award, and reimbursement process.

Eligibility

  • This program is open to mathematicians who have a full-time affiliation with an institution in the United States at the time of the Congress. Applications from individuals at all career stages and in all mathematical areas are welcome. Early-career mathematicians, women, and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
  • It is the intent of this program to fund those who would not be able to participate in the Congress without this grant; specifically, it is not intended to be used by participants with existing external travel support. Early career mathematicians (those who will or who have received a doctorate no earlier than July 19, 2015) will receive priority in funding.
  • AMS Employees are not eligible.

Applications

  • Applications will be submitted electronically and reviewed by a panel of mathematical scientists. Award announcements should not be anticipated before mid-February, 2021.
  • Early career mathematicians will be required to submit one letter of recommendation from a senior professional mathematician.
  • Applications may be made beginning September 15, 2020 and they will be accepted until November 20, 2020.  Visit this page for a link to the application at that time.
