Financial support will be available to cover or partially cover the travel and local
expenses of many conference participants, with priority given to graduate students,
postdoctoral researchers, and participants without other means of support.
To request support please make the appropriate selection on the registration page. Requests will be evaluated beginning mid-September.
Original receipts are required for any expenses for which reimbursement is claimed.
As this is an IMA funded conference, attendees from
IMA Participating Institutions may be able to use some funds contributed to
the IMA by their home institution. We strongly encourage
you to do this if you are eligible since it will spread our funds
further. Assuming your school is a Participating Institution, the procedure is to apply
for these funds through the chair of your home department.
According to U.S. immigration laws, individuals who enter the U.S. and wish to be reimbursed for travel-related expenses
should enter only on a B-1, WB, or J-1 visa (WT and B-2 visa do not permit reimbursement of any expenses).
For more information about visa rules pertaining to reimbursement, please contact your local U.S. embassy or U.S. consulate.
Note that airfare reimbursement from NSF funds requires the use of a U.S. flag carrier (i.e., a U.S. airline).
