In order to be considered for one of the mentor travel grants, a mathematics applicant must hold a doctorate in mathematics.
The objective of the NSF-AWM Mathematics Mentoring Travel Grants is to help junior women to develop a long-term working and mentoring relationship with a senior mathematician. This relationship should help the junior mathematician to establish her research program and eventually receive tenure.
The Mathematics Education Research Travel Grants provide full or partial support for travel and subsistence for:
• mathematicians attending a research conference in mathematics education or related field
• researchers in mathematics education (or related field) attending a mathematics conference.
AWM Travel Grants for Women Researchers enables women mathematicians to attend conferences in their fields and provides them a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. The Mathematics Travel Grants provide full or partial support for travel and subsistence for a meeting or conference in the applicant’s field of specialization.
Requests for assistance are considered for coaching, specialized training and/or travel. An individual may request up to $5,000. The Fund was established by Richard Ader and is replenished through earnings on the endowment and donations.
