Caring Supplementary Grants

The Caring Supplementary Grants enable parents and carers to attend conferences, research schools, meetings or visits by making a supplementary contribution towards caring costs. The grants are designed to support mathematicians in the UK who need financial assistance to cover childcare or caring responsibilities while participating in professional activities. Applicants should first approach the institution or event organisers to see if arrangements for funding caring costs are in place before applying to the LMS. The Society views these grants as supplementary support while institutions develop their own provisions for caring costs. Applications are considered quarterly by the Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics, with priority given to early career applicants and those who have not received support from other sources. A report is required after the conference or meeting has taken place.
