Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) Centennial Fellowship is an annual award supporting an outstanding mathematician’s research and career development. Work in all areas of mathematics, including interdisciplinary research, is eligible. Funding is paid through the recipient’s university or department and supports course release, research-related travel, and other research expenses.
Research excellence is the primary selection criterion. The selection committee also considers how the proposed fellowship plan, viewed in the context of the applicant’s broader research, would advance their success. The program seeks to support mathematicians for whom the award would make a meaningful difference in the development of their research careers. Preference is given to applicants who have not previously received extensive fellowship support.
