This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will provide $526,251 to the American Astronomical Society (AAS) to fund U.S. astronomers to travel to international scientific conferences from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2027. The AAS will use this funding to support round-trip, economy-class airfare on U.S. flag carriers for selected individuals, particularly early-career astronomers, those from smaller institutions, and those with important roles at the conferences such as invited speakers. The goal is to enable U.S. astronomers to present their research, engage with international colleagues, and showcase U.S. research accomplishments, while also potentially recruiting international scientists to collaborate with or relocate to the U.S. This grant reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific understanding and promote broader impacts through international collaboration and public engagement in the astronomical sciences.
