Inside SSP’s 2025 Annual Meeting: Chefs Reveal Their Game-Changing Insights You Never Saw Coming
There was a palpable sense of needing to take action to support our academic communities; a realization that even in the small actions of many, a wider collective voice may be heard. In the case of my society, The American Mathematical Society (AMS), recently announced $1m in backstop grants for the mathematical community.
Through strategic financial planning and careful allocation of resources, the AMS has been able to budget $1 million for distribution to impacted mathematical societies, institutes, programs, and departments. These grants are intended to provide one-time financial relief and ensure the continuity of some essential projects, conferences, and scholarly activities that align with our mission to advance research, education, and the full participation of all individuals in the mathematical sciences.
