Description
The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences division runs Travel Support for Mathematicians to substantially increase collaborative contacts among accomplished, active mathematicians in the United States. The program primarily supports scientific travel and related expenditures, including travel by investigators, their graduate and Ph.D. students, and other department members, as well as visits by collaborators and scientific visitors to the investigator’s home institution.
Awards also provide limited support for other research expenses and departmental activities that enhance the research atmosphere. Selection emphasizes the quality and significance of previous research and the likely impact of travel support on future research by the applicant and their graduate students or postdoctoral fellows.
