Financial Assistance
There
are a few sources of financial assistance available to delegates
wishing to attend PRIMA 2009. Details of each are given below.
Financial Hardship
The
organisers have the discretion to reduce or waive the registration fee
in cases of financial hardship. This applies in particular to delegates
who are not eligible for the other sources of assistance described
below. If you would like to request this, please contact the Local Arrangements Committee (prima2009@maths.unsw.edu.au) before 23 February 2009. A response will be provided by 26 February 2009.
Australian and New Zealand
Delegates from Institutions in the USA
Thanks to a generous grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF),
funding is available to support the travel expenses of delegates from
institutions situated in the United States of America (regardless of
their citizenship). Individual support amounts will depend on whether
the participant has any other sources of funding, and the prospects of
the individual benefitting from one of more of the PRIMA 2009 special
sessions. Applications from underrepresented groups, including women,
minorities and handicapped people, are strongly encouraged.
A
Selection Committee of six scientists, chaired by Douglas Lind
(University of Washington), will consider all applications and make
travel support decisions.
The NSF travel funds are restricted to use on US air carriers only

Delegates from MSRI Academic Sponsor Institutions
The
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley has
generously agreed to provide some additional support for travel by
delegates from its Academic Sponsors. MSRI Academic Sponsors include 80 institutions from the US and Canada, together with the following international institutions:
CINVESTAV del IPN, Mexico
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong
Instituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica "Francesco Severi" (INdAM), Italy
Reykjavik University Mathematics Institute, Iceland
Seoul National University, Korea
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Mexico
The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay
The
application process will be similar to that for the NSF funding, and
will be considered by the same Selection Committee. The MSRI travel funds are restricted to use on US air carriers only.
