NRAO/NAASC Call for Conference & Workshop Support

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)/North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) invites members of the North American scientific community to apply for funding in support of conferences and workshops that encourage the participation of students, postdocs, and early career researchers. Events must be scheduled between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025 to be eligible and address any topic with a connection to ALMA science and/or technology. For awarded events, the NAASC can provide monetary funding (up to $15,000 per event). As needed, the NAASC can also provide logistical support (e.g., webinar platform, event website), access to facilities (NRAO rooms and auditorium in Charlottesville), and content (materials, training sessions for attendees) if requested in the application or proposed by the NAASC at the time of the award. 

Proposals requesting more than $5,000 should apply before Wednesday, 28 August 2024, for full consideration. For other proposals with lower monetary requests, we will accept applications at any time while funds for fiscal year 2025 last. For instructions on how to apply, eligibility criteria, and other details on this program, please look at the program web page.
