Due Dates (Anticipated): March 2027 (full application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Up to $2,500 per year for two years (total $5,000); no indirect costs allowed.
Summary: Supports early-career mathematicians at primarily undergraduate institutions in the U.S. to enhance research and foster collaborations through research-related travel.
This grant program, offered by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) with support from the Simons Foundation, is designed to enhance the research environment for early-career mathematicians employed at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) in the United States. The grant provides resources for research-related travel, enabling faculty to maintain active research agendas and foster new collaborations while balancing significant teaching responsibilities. The program aims to broaden participation in mathematical research and support faculty whose research opportunities may be limited by institutional constraints.
