ALMA/NAASC Call for Meetings and Conference Support Open

The 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 are focused on the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) or have a synergy with ALMA, and which encourage the participation of students, postdocs, and early-career researchers. Principal Investigator–led events based in the US, as well as national or international conferences, may be considered. Events must be scheduled between 1 October 2026 and 31 December 2027 to be eligible.

For awarded events, the NAASC can provide monetary funding of up to $15,000 per event. As needed, the NAASC can also provide logistical support (e.g., webinar platform) materials and content 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 31 July 2026. For other proposals with lower monetary requests, we encourage submission by the call deadline but we will also consider applications at any time while funds last.
