NSF Support for US based participants
of "Graph Theory, Algebraic Combinatorics, and Mathematical Physics"
at Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM), Montréal
Deadline for applications: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 (closed)
A block travel grant proposal has been submitted to the
National Science Foundation for the workshop
Graph Theory, Algebraic Combinatorics,
and Mathematical Physics at
Centre de Recherches Mathématiques in Montréal, Canada, July 25 - August 19, 2022.
This grant will provide support for US based researchers to travel to this workshop.
Priority will be given to workshop speakers, early career faculty, recent PhDs and advanced graduate students
who do not have travel support from other sources.
Women, minorities, and members of under-represented groups and academics working in primarily undergraduate
institutions are strongly encouraged to apply.
Application procedure
Deadline
Applications must be received by Tuesday, May 17, 2022. We will notify researchers who will receive funds
as soon as possible thereafter. Late applications will receive a lower priority or will not be considered at all
once the funds are fully allocated.
The Application must include
- A cover letter explaining the applicant's interest in the workshop, other possible funding sources, and
what related activities or visits with other scientists (if any) are planned in conjunction with the workshop.
- Curriculum Vitae, including a list of publications.
- Brief (one page) description of the applicant's research.
- In the case of a student or a postdoctoral applicant, a letter of recommendation from a senior scientist.
Submission of applications
The grant will be administered by Clarkson University.
Applicants should submit their applications by email to Christino Tamon (ctamon followed by the at symbol and clarkson.edu) with
the email subject header of "NSF CRM travel application"
The format for applications is a single PDF file, which
should be sent as an attachment to an e-mail message to the address
given above. Student and postdoctoral applicants should also request
the senior scientist to submit the letter in support of their application
by e-mail to the same address (with an email subject header which includes the applicant's name).
Selection criteria
- Scientific excellence
- An indication that the applicant's future research and professional growth will benefit from participation in the workshop.
- Preference will be given to speakers, early career faculty, recent PhD's, and outstanding graduate students.
Strong considerations will be given to women, minorities, researchers from under-represented groups, and academics working
in primarily undergraduate institutions.
- Researchers who have travel funds available from regular NSF grants or other sources are not eligible.
Selection committee
Applications will be reviewed by a Selection Committee consisting of the following members:
- Joanna Ellis-Monaghan (University of Amsterdam)
- Christopher King, Chair (Northeastern University)
- Rosa Orellana (Dartmouth College)
- Mary Beth Ruskai (University of Vermont)
- Christino Tamon (Clarkson University)
Amount of award
We expect to be able to support travel for (approximately) fifteen researchers.
Awards will specify a maximum support amount which should be sufficient to cover
the most economical airfare to Montréal (with a US carrier)
and the cost of a modest room and board in Montréal.
Support for a shorter stay during the workshop is also possible.
Questions
Questions about this travel support can be sent to Christino Tamon, Department of Computer Science, Clarkson University.
