Description
The Chrétien International Research Grants, administered by the American Astronomical Society, are designed to advance international collaboration in observational astronomy. The program honors the legacy of Henri Chrétien and specifically supports projects that involve long-term visits and foster close working relationships between astronomers from different countries. The grants encourage innovative research, particularly those using new optics, devices, or techniques, and are intended to support individuals rather than institutions. Funding is flexible and can be used for travel, research expenses, publication costs, or small equipment, provided the project aligns with the grant’s objectives.
