Professional Development
The AAS hosts and supports professional development programs for wherever you are in your career. The Society provides education-related mentoring and professional-development experiences for fellow members — AAS-EPD Mini-Grant Program — and other professional development and mentoring opportunities such as the AAS Astronomy Ambassadors program.
AAS-EPD Mini-Grant Program
The AAS-EPD mini-grant program will provide direct funding and logistical support for these experiences but will not pay any indirect costs (e.g., overhead). Individual grants will range from $1,000 to $10,000, with a typical amount of approximately $3,500 or less.
Astronomy Ambassadors
The AAS Astronomy Ambassadors program provides professional development and mentoring opportunities, through workshops at AAS meetings, an online community of practice, and access to resources and contacts.
