Dear friends and colleagues, The Association for Asian Studies has announced the accepted panels for its 2026 Annual Conference, to be held in-person from March 12–15 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies will again offer sponsorship for two AAS panels in our research timeframe (10th–14th centuries). We will prioritize funding for panels that focus on the Society’s timeframe but will also consider sponsoring panels that include individual papers that fall outside it. The selected panels will receive official recognition by the Society on the conference program and on our Society website as well as a small grant of *$200/person* to offset the costs of participation for up to six (6) participants (typically four panelists, a discussant, and a panel chair). Additionally, organizers of award-winning panels are encouraged to request a supplementary grant of up to *$500/panel* to support travel costs. These supplemental funds will be awarded according to demonstrated need, with a preference for emerging scholars. If you would like to apply for SSYCDS sponsorship for your panel, please submit the panel organizer’s CV, panel proposal, individual paper abstracts, and the names and contact information of all panel participants. In the last document, please also indicate whether any members of your panel have previously received SSYCDS AAS support, specifying the years and number of times. Please send all materials to the SSYCDS Secretary, Professor Yiwen Li (yiwenli@cityu.edu.hk) by *December 15, 2025*. Please note that panelists must be members of the Society to receive support. Although participants are not required to be members at the time of application, all sponsored panel participants are required to pay membership dues for 2026 prior to January 31, 2026.
