AMS is pleased to offer travel grants for faculty from Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) or Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). These grants are being funded by generous support from the National Science Foundation. 

From our annual meeting to specialty conferences, short courses, and events. AMS brings together atmospheric scientists, professionals, students, authors, educators, researchers, and weather enthusiasts from around the world to share research and collaborate. AMS meetings and conferences foster great minds from a diverse set of scientific disciplines. Attendees make career-long professional contacts and lifelong friends while learning from and engaging with top experts and colleagues around the world. 

We invite applications from faculty at all career stages who can identify how participating in an AMS Specialty Conference will benefit their research, teaching, or departmental leadership, and who would not be able to attend without this support. The AMS Faculty Travel Grant Program will cover conference registration, airfare, airport transfers, and lodging, plus an allowance for meals. You do NOT need to be an AMS member to apply, but you will need to create an AMS online profile. Any questions about the Faculty Travel Grant Program should be directed to Stephanie Armstrong, AMS Associate Executive Director at sarmstrong@ametsoc.org. 

Applicants must be employed full-time by a U.S. academic institution. 

The deadline for applying is two weeks prior to the start of the specialty conference.
