Overview
The American Physical Society (APS) offers travel grants to support graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and postdocs attending meetings. Grants are up to $500 for members presenting in DAP-sponsored sessions, and $250 for those in co-sponsored sessions. Priority is given to graduate students nearing graduation and postdocs, ensuring funds support those who haven't previously received travel grants. This initiative promotes participation and contribution to the field of physics.
Background
The American Physical Society (APS) is a nonprofit membership organization working to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics through its outstanding research journals, scientific meetings, and education, outreach, advocacy, and international activities. APS represents more than 50,000 members, including physicists in academia, national laboratories, and industry in the United States and throughout the world.
The DAP will offer travel grants to support the attendance of graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and postdocs at this meeting. The amount of each grant will be up to $500 for travel-related expenses for those students who are members of the DAP and who are presenting talks or posters in DAP-sponsored sessions. DAP students/postdocs presenting talks or posters in co-sponsored sessions are eligible for grants up to $250.
If there are insufficient funds to support all applicants, preference will be given to graduate students approaching graduation who are presenting talks or posters in DAP-sponsored sessions and who have not received travel grant support from DAP to an APS meeting in the past. Postdocs will receive travel support only if funds remain after all eligible students have been funded, with priority given to postdocs who are presenting talks in DAP-sponsored sessions and who have not received travel grant support from DAP to an APS meeting in the past.
