Funding Opportunities For Women Mathematicians
3:41 AM
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) with the dual purpose of cheering women and girls in persisting their education and building up equal rights and likelihood and treatment for them in arithmetic sciences was constituted in the year 1971.
The Association for Women in Mathematics initiated NSF-AWM Mentoring Travel Grants solely to assist junior women to promote a long-standing in functioning and mentoring relationship with their senior mathematicians.
One of the motives of National Science Foundation (NSF) comprised by Congress in 1971 was the improvement and progress of science and to accomplish its purpose, it has the stipulation of contribution exploration and education in disciplines of science and engineering.
As such, Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) of the National Science Foundation funds these Mentoring Travel Grants.
Junior mathematicians with this mentoring relationship receive help and support in establishing their research programs and ultimately receiving tenure. AWM awards maximum $5000 as a grant with maximum period of seven years.
Under each grant, untenured woman mathematician would be funded expense for travelling, accommodation and other required necessities to travel to a department or institute to undertake research for a period of one month with a particularized individual.
The recipients of NSF-AWM Mentoring Travel Grants can also appeal for using any unexpended funds to travel again in following year to work with same human being.
For such a specialized case, a candidate has to acknowledge an orderly request to the selection committee by 1st February of the following year, as due date for submitting application form is 1st February each year. The grant fulfills a dual purpose of internal and distant travelling with the requisite of using US air transmitter for travelling outside India.
Qualifying limit calls for only women candidates holding doctorate or similar experience having work address in the USA and incase of candidate being illiterate, then residential address is essential. Also, the examination by an candidate must be in an discipline assisted by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation.
The submission of application forms is only through online means and you can access the application form by visiting the website. If you come upon any difficulty regarding submission of application online, you can call Jennifer Lewis at 703-934-0163, ext. 213 for help.
