DPOLY Undergraduate Travel Award

_NOTE: The deadline is to be determined, but is typically up to two weeks before the March Meeting Abstract 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.

In 2022, Division of Polymer Physics (DPOLY) established an Undergraduate Travel Award to provide funding for undergraduate students doing research in the area of polymer physics to attend and present their research findings during the APS March Meeting (poster or oral presentations) for the first time. This award is intended to improve the visibility of diversity in the discipline of polymer physics.

Award

The Awardee will receive up to $2000 to be applied to reasonable costs associated with registration, travel, and accommodations for the APS March Meeting at which they are presenting their work for the first time. The Awardee will also be recognized at the Annual DPOLY Business Meeting, which is held on Tuesday evening during the March Meeting week.
