AMS Faculty Travel Grants to the JMM 2026

The AMS is pleased to offer a limited number of grants for full-time, US-based faculty who are members of the AMS to attend the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Washington, D.C., from January 4-7, 2026. 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. Priority consideration will be given to active AMS members who are participants or organizers in such activities as Professional Enhancement Programs (PEPs), the Workshop for Department Chairs and Leaders, Field of Dreams at JMM 2026, or are presenters at JMM. 

With generous support from an anonymous donor, awards of up to $2,310 will be made to provide partial support for travel, lodging, subsistence, and registration. 

If you would like to become an AMS member, more information can be found here.
