Enabling women mathematicians to attend conferences in their fields provides them a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. Having more women attend such meetings also increases the size of the pool from which speakers at subsequent meetings may be drawn and thus addresses the persistent problem of the absence of women speakers at some research conferences. The Mathematics Travel Grants provide full or partial support for travel and subsistence for a meeting or conference in the applicant\u2019s field of specialization.<\/p>\n

Selection Procedure.<\/b> All awards will be determined on a competitive basis by a selection panel consisting\u00a0of distinguished mathematicians appointed by the AWM. A maximum of $2,300 for domestic travel and of\u00a0$3,500 for foreign travel will be funded. For foreign travel, US air carriers must be used (exceptions only per\u00a0federal grants regulations; prior AWM approval required).<\/p>\n

Eligibility.<\/b> These travel funds are provided by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) of the National Science Foundation. The conference or the applicant\u2019s research must be in an area supported by DMS. Click here<\/span><\/a> for the list of research areas supported by NSF\/DMS. \u00a0Applicants must be women holding a doctorate (or equivalent) and with a work address in the USA (or home address, in the case of unemployed applicants). Anyone who has been awarded an AWM-NSF travel grant in the past two years is ineligible. Anyone receiving more than $2000 yearly in external governmental funding for travel is ineligible. Partial travel support from the applicant\u2019s institution or from a non-governmental agency does not, however, make the applicant ineligible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications.<\/b><\/p>\n

Step 1: All applicants must first complete the online pre-survey<\/a>. The pre-survey is conducted by an independent evaluator. The pre-survey responses are not<\/b> shared with AWM Selection Panel. After you have completed the pre-survey you will have access to the online application. The last question will ask you to confirm that you have completed the survey. After you answer that question, the next page will have the application link. DO NOT close that page before getting the link because it will be gone as soon as you close the page.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 2: All applications must be submitted via the online application system. The application requirements and a complete step-by-step process are available on the online site. If you have not already done so you must first create a user account \u2013 this will be the first screen when you access the site. During the application process you will be asked to attach one PDF file that includes your proposal, CV and current and pending funding (indicate if you do or do not have current and pending funding by including one of the following statements in your proposal)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
a) NO, I do not have NSF grant, other institutional or grant \u201ccurrent and pending funding\u201d support that provides travel funds that could be used to fund the travel as outlined in my proposal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
OR<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
b) YES, I do have NSF grant, other institutional or grant \u201ccurrent and pending funding\u201d support that provides travel funds that could be used to fund the travel as outlined in my proposal. If YES, please describe the \u201ccurrent and pending\u201d travel support. Indicate the source of the funding and the amount and relevant time period related to when the funds may be used.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nIf you have a speaker confirmation letter or e-mail notification, we ask that you scan the document as an electronic file so you can attach it as a PDF file.<\/div>\n
