Travel Support for Post-doc/Early Career Attendees
SIAM has available limited travel support for post-docs and early career participants in SIAM conferences through a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation. (These awards do not apply to the SIAM Annual Meeting since the grant does not apply to this meeting.) You must be affiliated with a U.S. institution and at the time of the conference be within 5 years of your PhD. Travel support is in the amount of $550 plus a free registration at the conference (Note: free registration does not apply to conferences not run by SIAM.) Travel outside of the U.S.under this program must comply with the Fly America Act. See for example, http://www.tvlon.com/resources/FlyAct.html
Top priority will be given to candidates presenting papers at the meeting. An application for travel support must include:
- A letter from the applicant requesting support and providing the rationale for the request and explaining his/her interests.
- A one-page vita that includes their contact information, the date of award of their PhD, the institution awarding the PhD, and their advisor's name, and, if available, a URL for a working Web page, research interests, projects, and papers published
- A letter or e-mail from a colleague or advisor indicating why the candidate is deserving of receiving travel support and any special circumstances. (Not required but recommended)
- If applicable, the title(s) of the paper(s) to be presented (co-authored) by the candidate at the meeting. Preference will be given to candidates who are presenting their work at the conference
Applications should be sent to the SIAM office (Attention: Post-doc Travel Support Awards), 3600 Market Street, 6th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104-2688. You may fax this application 215 386 7999. Applications by e-mail will also be accepted. Send to: meetings@siam.org and use the subject line "Post-doc travel XX09" or "Post-doc travel XXX09" as approriate, where XX or XXX denotes the two or three letter conference code, for example DS or CSC (see below)..
Deadlines for Conferences in 2009
Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office no later than two months before the first day of the conference for which support is requested. Late applications will be accepted up to two weeks after the original two month deadline, but we cannot guarantee that awards will still be available.
Awardees will be notified by e-mail four weeks before the first day of the meeting. Checks for the awards will be given to the awardees when they arrive at the given conference and check in at the SIAM Registration Desk.
Deadlines for Conferences in 2010 and beyond
In order to provide more time for applicants to budget for the travel to SIAM conferences, SIAM has changed the deadlines for travel award applications for conferences in 2010 and beyond.
Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office no later than seven months before the first day of the conference for which support is requested. In addition, for full consideration, applicants must submit their abstract no later than seven months before the first day of the conference. The deadlines apply to all required application materials, and no late applications will be accepted.
Awardees will be notified by e-mail five months before the first day of the meeting. Checks for the awards will be given to the awardees when they arrive at the given conference and check in at the SIAM Registration Desk.
