Description
The Paleontological Society Funding for Meetings program provides financial support for organizing meetings, workshops, and sessions that promote the advancement of paleontology in its broadest sense—including research, education, and outreach. The program prioritizes stand-alone meetings organized by society members, but also considers support for sessions within larger conferences, particularly those that foster interdisciplinary connections or broaden participation in the field. The initiative encourages events that are inclusive, diverse, and impactful, welcoming participation from academic paleontologists, educators, amateur enthusiasts, and the public.
