AMS Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Faculty Travel Grants to the JMM

The AMS is pleased to offer grants for faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to attend the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Seattle, WA, January 8 - 11, 2025. We seek applications from faculty at all career stages who can identify benefits to their research, teaching, or departmental leadership from participating in the JMM, and who would not be able to attend without this support. Individuals from groups historically underrepresented in mathematics are especially encouraged to apply. 

With generous support from an anonymous donor, awards will be made to support travel, lodging, subsistence, and registration, and are not to exceed $1,155 for non-members of the AMS or $2,310 for members of the AMS. Applicants may use the grant to participate in JMM activities such as giving a talk in one of the sessions, serving as a panelist or workshop presenter, or participating in the AMS Chairs and Leaders Workshop on January 7, 2025. 

Eligibility

To be eligible for consideration for an AMS Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Faculty Travel Grants to the JMM, applicants must:

  • Be employed full-time at U.S. institutions typically offering a associate, bachelor’s, or master’s degree as their highest degree in mathematics;
  • Be principally involved as a faculty member in such areas as mathematics, statistics, or mathematics education research;
  • Reside and study/work in the United States;
  • Have a home address that is outside a 50-mile radius of the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, WA; 
  • Have an institution mailing address that is outside a 50-mile radius of the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, WA.
In the application, applicants should provide evidence that their participation in the JMM will benefit their research, teaching, or departmental leadership. They should also show that support from this grant would be key to their traveling to the JMM site, such as if they do not have other substantial support that could be used instead. Applicants may also provide an explanation for special circumstances surrounding their application.

Travel Support 

Travel grant applicants will be responsible for making their own travel and meeting arrangements in accordance with grant policies and procedures. Grantees who do not follow these policies and procedures may not be eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses they incur. The maximum reimbursement amount will also depend on the applicant’s AMS membership status at the time of application: support of up to $1,155 for non-members, and up to $2,310 for members. If you would like to become an AMS member, more information can be found here.
