As part of the award, the recipient or a representative of the collaboration will be required to present a lecture at the SIAM annual meeting. The lecture will be publicized in meeting announcements. Travel funds will be made available to reimburse the speaker for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending the award ceremony and giving the lecture.
