AMS-Simons Travel
Grants
The American Mathematical Society is pleased to announce a new program, the AMS-Simons Travel Grants, with support provided by the Simons Foundation. Each grant provides an early-career mathematician with $2,000 per year for two years to be used for research-related travel. Applicants must be located in the United States (or be U.S. citizens employed outside the U.S.) and must have completed the PhD within the last four years. The department of the awardee will also receive a small amount of funding to help enhance its research environment. Applications should be made on the application site www.MathPrograms.org.
The American Educational Research Association Grants Program
The AERA Grants Program invites proposals for quantitative education policy and practice research using large-scale, nationally- representative data sets such as those sponsored by NCES and NSF. Minority researchers are strongly encouraged to apply.
AWM Mathematics Education Research Travel Grants
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Mathematics Education
Research Travel Grants provide full or partial support for travel and
subsistence for:
(Please
note that mathematics education researchers attending mathematics
education research conferences are not eligible for this grant.)
AWM Mathematics Education Mentoring Travel Grants
Women mathematicians who wish to collaborate with an educational researcher or to learn about educational research may use the mentoring grants to travel to collaborate with or be mentored by a mathematics education researcher. In order to be considered for one of the mentor travel grants, a mathematics applicant must hold a doctorate in mathematics. A mentor should hold a doctorate in mathematics education or in a related field such as psychology or curriculum and instruction. The applicant’s research must be in a field which is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation.
MAA Grants for Tensor-Summa Program
The Tensor Foundation has provided funding for the MAA to award grants for programs designed to encourage the pursuit and enjoyment of mathematics among middle school students, high school students, and/or beginning college students from groups traditionally under-represented in the field of mathematics. College and university mathematical sciences faculty and their departments and institutions may submit proposals. They should collaborate with secondary and middle school mathematics faculty as appropriate depending on the focus of the project. Proposed programs may replicate existing successful programs, adapt components of such programs, or be innovative.
NSF/AWM Travel Grants and Mentoring Travel Grants
The objective of the NSF-AWM Travel Grants Program is to enable women to attend research conferences in their fields, thereby providing a valuable opportunity to advance their research activities and their visibility in the research community. The objective of the NSF-AWM Mentoring Travel Grants is to help junior women to develop a long term working and mentoring relationship with a senior mathematician. This relationship should help the junior mathematician to establish her research program and eventually receive tenure.
NSF Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM)
The PAESMEM Program seeks to identify outstanding mentoring efforts that enhance the participation of groups (i.e., women, minorities, and persons with disabilities) that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The awardees serve as leaders in the national effort to develop fully the USA's human resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Association for Women In Science Educational and Professional Development Awards
The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) supports career development for women scientists through its Educational and Professional Development Awards Program (Awards Program). The Awards Program was substantially revised recently to focus on assisting early-career women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) with professional development.
The Association for Women in Mathematics Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize
The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the AWM is awarded annually to a woman recently promoted to Associate Professor or an equivalent position in the mathematical sciences. The prize provides a fellowship for the awardee to spend a semester in the Mathematics Department of Cornell University without teaching obligations. Recently promoted associate professors face many challenges as they prepare to take on greater leadership in research and in the profession. The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize will honor outstanding women at this stage of their careers and enable them to focus on their research in the stimulating environment of the Cornell University Mathematics Department. The recipient may use the fellowship during a semester of her choosing during the current academic year. The award will be US $47,000, with an additional $3,000 housing/subsistence stipend. Acceptance and use of the fellowship cannot be deferred.
Fields Institute Postdoctoral Fellowships
Applications are invited for the Fields Postdoctoral Fellowships, Jerrold E. Marsden Postdoctoral Fellowship, Fields-Ontario Fellowships, and the Fields-Perimeter Africa Postdoctoral Fellowship for the current academic year. The Fields Institute is committed to diversity and welcomes applications from women, members of First Nations or visible minorities, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the diversity of ideas.
The Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) Grants and Fellowships
Sigma Delta Epsilon/Graduate Women in Science National Fellowships Programs offers fellowships to help increase knowledge in the fundamental sciences and to encourage research careers in the sciences by women.
Women In Defense, a National Security Organization, established the Horizons Foundation to encourage women to pursue careers related to the national security interests of the United States and to provide development opportunities to women who are already working in national security fields. HORIZONS scholarships are awarded to candidates demonstrating significant leadership potential that can lead to contributions in the science, engineering, and business disciplines.
L'Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellowship
The L’Oréal USA For Women in Science program recognizes and rewards the contributions women make in the STEM fields and identifies exceptional women researchers committed to serving as role models for younger generations. More than 2,000 women scientists in over 100 countries have been recognized since the program began in 1998. Five US-based women researchers committed to serving as role models for younger generations will receive a fellowship grant up to $60,000 each for their postdoctoral research through the For Women in Science program.
