Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) provides a limited number of child care reimbursement grants for parents attending its sectional meetings. Administered by the AMS Meetings and Conferences Department, the program supports participation in Eastern, Southeastern, Central, and Western sectional meetings rather than funding research or project work directly.
Funds can support any form of child care that enables a parent to participate more fully in a meeting. Care may take place at home or at the meeting location, including hiring a nanny at home or bringing a caregiver to the meeting. Families choose and arrange the care that works for them; AMS does not provide on-site child care or recommend providers.
