Description
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers Child Care Reimbursement Grants to help parents participate more fully in the 2027 Joint Mathematics Meetings, taking place January 12–15, 2027, in Chicago, Illinois. Administered by the AMS Meetings and Conferences Department, the program helps offset the cost of care needed during the meeting.
Recipients can use the reimbursement for child care at home or at the meeting, including hiring a nanny at home or bringing a caregiver along. This flexibility allows families to arrange care that suits their needs. The program provides reimbursement rather than a child care service: parents must make their own arrangements, and AMS neither offers on-site child care nor recommends providers.
