Deadlines for 2013
11 January 2013 for travel to meetings between 1 March 2013 and 31 August 2013.
7 June 2013 for travel to meetings between 1 September 2013 and 28 February 2014
The AAS administers a National Science Foundation grant, which provides funding for airline travel to international science meetings. This funding is available only to individuals at US institutions. During years with an International Astronomical Union General Assembly the grant additionally funds travel for US astronomers to the General Assembly and contemporaneous Symposia in addition to normal international meetings. You do not have to be a member of the AAS to apply, but you do have to be currently employed in the US or with a US institution. Note that there are restrictions on how the funds are used, which will be communicated to fund recipients. Chief among the restrictions is the use of US-flag carriers except in certain circumstances, using the funds only for direct travel from the US to the meeting location and returning and using the funds only for airfare costs (e.g. not bag fees).
The Travel grant funds are targeted for (in priority order) early-career scientists, scientists from smaller institutions or from under-served populations or for scientists whose participation at the meeting is important for US visibility.
Funds may not be requested for any AAS or AAS Divisional meeting. Please note that the NSF considers Puerto Rico a qualifying location for this program. We are working to get a complete list of acceptable locations from the NSF.
