We are excited to share a new pilot 2024 initiative to support historically underrepresented US-based and international anthropologists. We have allocated special funding for the 2024 American Anthropological Association Conference to financially support medical anthropologists outside academia, contingent faculty, and historically underrepresented anthropologists who wish to attend in person. We also encourage non-US-based anthropologists to apply, especially those living and working in low and middle-income countries.

The SMA can cover all or some of the following expenditures, depending on availability of funds:

- Cost-effective travel to and from Tampa (e.g., plane, train, car)

- Local travel (i.e., taxi, rideshare)

- Lodging (e.g., hotel, Airbnb)

- Pier diem rate for meals

- Conference fees and registration

- Some travelers will need a visa to travel to the USA. Please look at the US Government’s official website for all information about if you need a visa, what type of visa you need, and how to obtain it, according to your specific circumstances. Funding is available to cover the costs of applying for a visa through your local embassy. Please note these expenses in your proposed budget below.
