These grants fund travel and subsistence costs for mathematical scientists traveling between U.S./Canadian and Chinese institutions to collaborate on research. The program supports visits primarily for research purposes, including virtual collaborations, but excludes funding specifically for conference attendance. Host institutions are expected to provide additional support, and applications require departmental approval.
Applicants from U.S. or Canadian institutions must apply individually or with collaborators, with chair approval if not the chair. Chinese institution applications must be completed by the chair or head of the hosting department.
