Notice: The MCA 2021 Travel Grant program has been temporarily halted and is not accepting applications at this time. Please check back again soon for more information.Grant Program for Early Career Mathematicians
for the 2021 Virtual Mathematical
Congress of the Americas (MCA)
The AMS is administering a program, with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), to provide partial support for early career U.S. mathematicians (with no external research support) to attend the 2021 Virtual Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA 2021), Buenos Aires, Argentina, scheduled for July 19-24, 2021.Early career mathematicians within six years of their doctorate (that is, those who have received a doctorate no earlier than July 2015) are invited to apply using this application. Women and members of U.S. groups underrepresented in mathematics in the early career years are especially encouraged to apply.
*Please note: Full-time Graduate students should use the separate Graduate student application; post-Early Career mathematicians should use the separate Mathematical Scientist application.* For any program, fellowship, prize or award that has a maximum period of eligibility after receipt of the doctoral degree, the selection committee may use discretion in making exceptions to the limit on eligibility for applicants whose careers have been interrupted for reasons such as family or health. You should state your exception on the application. This funding will cover the MCA registration fee plus a stipend
of up to $250. The stipend is intended to assist in offsetting
conference-related expenses that will allow the awardee a more focused meeting
participation, which otherwise would not be possible.
Awardees are responsible for registering for the meeting and
will submit the registration receipt and a statement of how the stipend funds
were used following the conclusion of the Congress. Reimbursement will be through
a voucher process. This program is open to U.S. mathematicians only (U.S. mathematicians are those who are affiliated with a U.S. institution/organization, and who must be affiliated with a U.S. institution/organization at the time of the Congress).
Early career applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from a senior professional mathematician that should address how participation in MCA 2021 has the potential for impact on their career and future mathematical research. - Mathematicians accepting grants for partial support to MCA 2021 may not supplement them with any other NSF funds.
- AMS Employees are not eligible.
THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 11:59 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON APRIL 30, 2021.
All information currently available about the MCA 2021 program, organization and registration procedure is located on the MCA 2021 website.
