Supports collaborative research and scholarly exchange between U.S./Canadian and Chinese mathematicians through travel funding.

--- ## Description This program provides travel grants to facilitate collaborative research and academic exchange between mathematicians in the United States (or Canada) and China. The goal is to foster mutual understanding, strengthen research ties, and encourage the development of long-term professional relationships. Grants support visits to partner institutions, participation in academic activities, and joint research projects. The program is open to both established and early-career mathematical scientists, with a preference for eminent U.S./Canadian researchers visiting China and early-career Chinese mathematicians visiting North America. --- ## Due Dates - March 2027 (anticipated/projected application deadline) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Total annual funding: $10,000 - Typical award: $2,500–$5,000 per recipient (2–3 awards per year) - For U.S./Canadian institutions, $1,000 of the award is set aside for the Chinese home institution of the visitor. - For Chinese institutions hosting U.S./Canadian visitors, $250 is set aside for an undergraduate student award, and up to $1,000 may be used for publications. --- ## Eligibility - Open to mathematical scientists at institutions in the U.S., Canada, or China. - For U.S./Canadian applications: - Applicant can be the visitor, a collaborator, or the chair/head of the sponsoring department. - If not the chair/head, a supporting letter from the department is required. - For Chinese applications: - Must be submitted by the chair/head of the sponsoring department hosting the U.S./Canadian visitor. - Applications must include a CV for each visitor. - Visits must be for collaborative research; conference attendance alone is not eligible, though travel may be combined with conference activities. - No institutional overhead or indirect costs are permitted. - Host institutions are expected to provide additional support for the visitor. --- ## Application Process - Applications are accepted via [MathPrograms.org](https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1824). - Application materials (in English) must include: - Department and department head contact details - Visitor(s) details, including research area and planned collaborators - Visit dates and length - Budget and requested funds - Statement of research to be conducted - CVs for all visitors - Supporting letter from department head (if required) - Awards are announced in late May following the application deadline. - Departments handle payment and reimbursement; AMS does not pay visitors directly. - Brief post-visit reports are required. --- ## Additional Information - Awards are intended primarily for travel and subsistence costs. - Virtual collaborations may be considered. - A portion of awards to Chinese institutions may be used for purchasing books or journals. - The program encourages cost-sharing by host institutions to extend the length of visits. --- ## External Links - [Program Details and Application Instructions](https://www.ams.org/grants-awards/travel-grants/china-exchange/china-exchange#main) - [AMS China Exchange Program Page](https://www.ams.org/employment/chinaexchange.html) - [MathPrograms.org Application Portal](https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1824) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | Web Contact Form | |------------------------|------------------------|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | AMS Education, Grants, and Awards staff | ams@ams.org | +1 401-455-4000 | [Contact AMS Staff](https://www.ams.org/cgi-bin/fmail/fmail.cgi?emailto=52616e646f6d49566bcc95755f0b972324fc6c1d85b8043d809523ee914ad27a84966d55b4350025&name=AMS%20Education,%20Grants,%20and%20Awards%20Staff&subject=Question%20about%20China%20Exchange%20Program) | ---
