Description
The American Mathematical Society’s Centennial Fellowship supports an outstanding mathematician in advancing their research career. Work in all areas of mathematics, including interdisciplinary research, is eligible. The fellowship provides support for course release, research-related travel, and other research expenses, allowing recipients to pursue a focused research plan.
Research excellence is the primary selection criterion. The selection committee also considers how the proposed fellowship activities would make a meaningful difference to the applicant’s research career, with preference given to candidates who have not received extensive fellowship support previously. The program originated with an AMS Research Fellowship Fund established in 1973 and was renamed in 1988 to honor the Society’s centennial.
