The LMS offers Caring Supplementary Grants to enable parents and carers to attend conferences, research schools, meetings or visits by making a contribution towards caring costs. Any mathematician in the UK is eligible to apply and the maximum award is £200. This scheme is intended for applicants for whom no other provision for caring costs is available.
Applications for Caring Supplementary Grants in the current financial year (1 August 2023 - 31 July 2024) are open year-round. There is no deadline, but decisions on the applications will be made on a quarterly basis. It is expected that the first round of decisions will be made in September 2023. If an application is not successful in one round, it may be considered in the next.
Applications should be made using an application form and sent to the grants administrator, Kieran O'Connor: womenanddiversity@lms.ac.uk.
