Participant support. Grants of up to $500 are available to partially support the participation of 10 young female participants (defined as not yet tenured). Send an email to the organizer (RTD) with brief statement about your research and why you would like to attend the conference, attach a CV, and arrange for you thesis advisor or postdoctoral mentor to send a brief email (a few sentences is sufficient) endorsing your participation in the conference. The first round of decisions will be made on June 1, and after that on a rolling basis.
The organizer (RTD) is retired (as of 7/1/2023) and no longer @t the MATH department in .DUKE.EDU but he still gets his email there.
