program Description
Recognizing that professional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were felt most strongly by women, members of other marginalized genders, and members of minoritized racial and ethnic groups, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has set aside a pool of funds to help revitalize professional activities of its membership. AWM will make awards in the amount of either $3000 or $7000 per person in support of individuals re-engaging in mathematical endeavors that were disrupted by the pandemic, including travel to visit collaborators, funding for childcare, cost of an off-site location to work free from distraction, fees for professional training, and more. The award will be in the form of a stipend to be paid directly to the awardee. The award period is from the date of initial award notification until September 15, 2024. Only one proposal per person will be considered.
