Funding Amounts: $10,000 annually; recent awards of $2,500–$5,000 each
Summary: Supports mathematical research visits and collaborations between scientists in China and colleagues in the United States or Canada.
Key Information: Host institutions are expected to provide additional travel or subsistence support.
Description
The American Mathematical Society’s China Exchange Program, supported by the Ky and Yu-Fen Fan Fund, funds research visits connecting mathematical scientists in the United States and Canada with colleagues in China. It supports travel in both directions so visitors can conduct mathematical research with colleagues at host institutions. Virtual collaborations will also be considered.
For U.S. and Canadian travelers, the program favors eminent mathematicians whose visits will positively affect China’s mathematical research community. For Chinese travelers, preference goes to scientists beginning their research careers. Support primarily covers travel and subsistence associated with research visits, rather than conference attendance, although research trips may sometimes be combined with conferences.
