Important note: As of the deadline of December 15, we have more applicants than we will be able to support. So if you apply now, it is highly unlikely we will be able to provide any support. However, we will keep your application on file for the (unlikely) event that we get more funds. As of January 28 we are totally committed and are no longer accepting names for the waiting list.

The conference NSF grant provides travel/lodging support for 20 graduate students at $500 each and $500 each for 20 post-PhD researchers (at any point in their careers) who have no external funding.

To apply for this support you should send an email to Lou Block at block@math.ufl.edu with the subject "Conference Support". The body of the email should contain the following information You are encouraged to copy and paste the text below into your email and add your information after the headings.

IF YOU ARE A GRADUATE STUDENT, PLEASE GIVE THE NAME

BE SENDING THE EMAIL SUPPORTING YOUR APPLICATION.

For full consideration, please apply before December 15, 2008. We will make funding decisions shortly thereafter and send out notifications of support.
• For your area of research please use the appropiate special session title, eg. Continuum Theory, Dynamical Systems, etc. You may give more than one area.
• Graduate students should arrange to have a faculty member at their institution send a brief email of support for their application to Lou Block at block@math.ufl.edu. This email just needs to say that you are currently a graduate student in Mathematics with serious interest in the content of the conference.
• The funding for post-PhD researchers is available to anyone at any stage in their careers, but it is restricted to people who have no external sources of funding. External here means other than your college or university. By applying you are certifying that you are in this category.
• We hope to be able to support all applicants, but if we need to make decisions the criteria will be date of application and diversity of geographic and mathematical areas.
