Call For Proposals for MAA Centennial Celebration Mini-Grants

The Metropolitan New York Section is pleased to announce that it will award a few mini-grants ranging between $200 and $500 each to offer partial support for activities conducted in the Metro NY Section during the late Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2015 to promote the Centennial of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The funds could be used to provide refreshments and/or to offer an honorarium and/or partial expense reimbursement for a guest speaker in a half-day conference, for example.

The MAA has a tradition of fostering grassroots mathematical activity and development and promoting public awareness. In keeping with this tradition, the funds should only be used to offer partial support for events that are explicitly advertised to at least three institutions within the Metro NY Section and which offer activities that are accessible to a broad mathematical audience.

To apply for a mini-grant, submit a proposal that includes a title, abstract, and 400-word description of the event, how it will be advertised and promoted, and an itemized budget. Each proposal will be reviewed by the Executive Committee on a rolling basis when it is received throughout the remainder of 2015. The proposal should be submitted to Elena Goloubeva at the following email address: egoloubeva@webb.edu.
