AMS Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Faculty Travel Grants to the JMM
The AMS is pleased to offer grants for faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to attend the 2025 Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Seattle, Washington, January 8 - 11, 2025. With generous support from an anonymous donor, awards are made to support travel, lodging, subsistence, and registration. We seek applications from faculty at all career stages who can identify how participating in the JMM will benefit their research, teaching, or departmental leadership and who would not be able to attend without this support. Individuals from groups historically underrepresented in mathematics are especially encourage to apply.
As the largest annual gathering of mathematics enthusiasts and professionals in the world, the JMM provides its registrants a rich scientific program, opportunities to connect and network with others in the mathematical community, short courses, professional enhancement programs, workshops, career and job search resources, exhibits, and more.
Applications are currently being accepted on MathPrograms from Septemer 12, 2024 through October 17, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EDT).
