Submit a Proposal

The AAEA Trust funds a wide variety of projects that fit within its mission. The majority of those programs are funded through the general call for proposals. However, several smaller projects have their own call for submissions, which are also listed below.

AAEA Trust Call for Proposals

The AAEA Trust accepts proposals that support graduate student and young professional development and/or enhance the Annual Meeting, broaden participation in AAEA, reach out to new groups, and/or broaden the horizons of the current membership. Those proposals selected will be funded through one of the four support categories. Read more »

Special Purpose Funds

The funds donated to a Special Purpose Fund can only be used by that fund for its stated purposes. As such, each fund has its own call for submissions, providing details on the type of project it is looking to support. For more information, visit https://www.aaea.org/trust/special-purpose-funds.

Travel Grants for Economists from Low Income or Lower-middle Income Countries

The Trust provides full travel grants each year for several economists from low income or lower-middle income countries to attend the AAEA Annual Meeting. The funds for these travel grants are provided by a grant from USDA-ERS.
