DCOMP Travel Awards

Overview

_NOTE: Applications for the March meeting have a December deadline and applications for the  April meeting have a February deadline._

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 DCOMP Travel Award program was established to support the professional development of student and postdoctoral researchers. Students and postdocs who are presenting a talk in a DCOMP-sponsored or co-sponsored session at the APS March or April Meeting are invited to apply for a DCOMP Travel Award.

For in-person meetings, the award provides up to $500 in travel reimbursements. For virtual meetings, the award provides meeting registration fees as well as one year of membership in APS and DCOMP.

A subcommittee of the DCOMP executive committee will select recipients based on merit.
