Conferences 

Proposals for conferences, workshops, summer/winter schools and similar activities in Combinatorics must be submitted to the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation using the "conference" or “travel” proposal type in research.gov. Proposers should select Combinatorics as the program of interest. As indicated in the MPS Mathematical Sciences Research Programs solicitation, for proposals seeking no more than $50,000, submit at least six months in advance of the conference or workshop date. For proposals seeking more than $50,000, submit at least nine months in advance of the conference or workshop date.
