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 statement requesting the travel award and providing the rationale for your request and explaining your interest in attending the conference. If you are giving a presentation at the conference, the statement should include the title of your presentation, the type of presentation (minisymposium, contributed lecture, poster) and the name(s) and affiliations of your co-authors. If you are speaking in a minisymposium, include the title and the name(s) of the organizer(s).
- A current curriculum vitae (CV) that includes your contact information, the date (month/year) of the award of your PhD, the institution awarding your PhD, and your advisor's name, and other relevant information including recent publications. In addition, you may provide a URL for a working Web page that expands on the information in your CV.
- The name and email address of a senior colleague who should be asked to provide a letter of support for your application and any special circumstances. This letter is not required for early career or postdoctoral applicants, but it is recommended. We will send a separate e-mail requesting the letter from your colleague. The e-mail will include instructions on how to submit the letter. You will not be able to directly upload the letter of support as part of the application process.
All submissions must be in pdf format.
To submit an application for travel support to a conference, go to http://awards.siam.org/ , and follow the instructions.
Deadlines for Conferences
Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office approximately seven months before the first day of the conference for which support is requested. Refer to the list below to find the application deadline for the conference for which you are requesting support. Complete applications must be received at the SIAM office no later than this date. On the deadline date, no application will be accepted after 5PM current Eastern time. 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.
