We are grateful to the National Science Foundation for funding this Seminar partially. In addition, Princeton University’s Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering will fund the special talks, some of the scientific program, and all of the social activities.

All requests for support will be considered. Special consideration will be given to requests from recent PhD.s without external support, faculty from smaller universities, graduate students, and women and other members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
All applications for funding made before February 9 will be answered on that day. After that, we will answer them case by case, according to the availability of funds, if any.

To apply, please send an email to the organizer at ecinlar@princeton.edu with the following information:

a) Your name, email address, current university affiliation and status
b) If you are a graduate student or a recent PhD, your (expected) year of PhD, the institution it is from, the name of your thesis advisor, his or her email address, the title or expected title of your dissertation.
c) If your PhD-birth has been sometime ago, your area of research and a list of a few publications.
d) In all cases, a dollar amount that you could live with (no guarantees even for that) <\blockquote>
