$10,000 total annually; typical award $2,500–$5,000 per recipient; 2–3 awards per cycle

Supports travel for mathematical scientists between the U.S./Canada and China to foster collaborative research visits.

--- ## Description The program funds travel for mathematical scientists at institutions in the U.S. or Canada to visit research colleagues in China, and for (generally less senior) mathematical scientists from China to visit U.S. or Canadian colleagues. The goal is to promote international research collaboration and strengthen ties between mathematical communities in these regions. Typical visits are for research purposes and may sometimes be combined with conference attendance, though the grant does not specifically fund conference travel. --- ## Due Dates - March 31, 2027: Full application deadline for the 2027–2028 cycle (applications accepted via MathPrograms.org; closes at 11:59 p.m. EDT) Awards are typically announced in late May following the application deadline. --- ## Funding Amount - **Total annual funding:** $10,000 - **Typical award size:** $2,500–$5,000 per recipient (2–3 awards per cycle) - For U.S./Canadian institutions: $1,000 of the total award is set aside for the Chinese home institution of the visitor (in lieu of honorarium) - For Chinese institutions: $250 is set aside as a special award for an outstanding undergraduate student - Funds are primarily for travel and subsistence; no indirect costs or overhead are permitted --- ## Eligibility - **For U.S. or Canadian institutions:** - Application may be submitted by the collaborating individual or by the department chair/head - If not submitted by the chair/head, a letter of support from the chair/head is required - **For Chinese institutions:** - Application must be submitted by the chair or head of the sponsoring department - **General requirements:** - Applicants must be affiliated with mathematics departments in the U.S., Canada, or China - Preference for U.S./Canadian travelers: eminent mathematicians with potential for positive impact in China - Preference for Chinese travelers: early-career researchers --- ## Application Process - Applications are accepted only through [MathPrograms.org](https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1824) - Applications must be in English and include: - Name and address of the sponsoring department - Name and email of department chair/head - For each visitor: name, email, mailing address, current institution, position, research area - List of faculty collaborators at the host institution - Approximate dates and length of visit(s) - Budget specification and amount requested - Statement of research to be conducted - Curriculum vitae for each potential visitor - For U.S./Canadian applicants (if not the chair/head): letter of support from the chair/head - Departments are responsible for paying or reimbursing the visitor’s expenses; AMS does not pay visitors directly - Award letters detail reporting requirements and options for fund disbursement (before or after travel) --- ## Additional Information - Award funds may not be used specifically for conference attendance, though trips may be combined with conferences - Virtual collaborations are considered - Host institutions are expected to provide some additional support to ensure an adequate length of stay - For Chinese institutions hosting U.S./Canadian visitors, up to $1,000 may be used for purchasing publications --- ## External Links - [AMS China Exchange Program overview](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/travel-grants/china-exchange/china-exchange) - [Application portal (MathPrograms.org)](https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1824) - [AMS grants and travel programs](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/travel-grants) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Details | |----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | AMS Education, Grants, and Awards Staff | [Contact form](https://www.ams.org/cgi-bin/fmail/fmail.cgi?emailto=52616e646f6d4956b19e59cf42d21f9f96d6c91f880c944693eda30a3a74a03ed1974c5b0f027ebb&name=AMS%20Education,%20Grants,%20and%20Awards%20Staff&subject=Question%20about%20China%20Exchange%20Program) | | Email | ams@ams.org | | Phone | +1 401-455-4000 | | Address | 201 Allen Drive, Providence, RI 02904, USA |
