Description
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Expanding Horizons Travel Grant helps students and trainees broaden the scope of scientific meetings they attend. The proposed meeting should introduce new and relevant topics that could inform current or future medical physics research and move the field in new directions. Meetings specifically related to medical physics are not eligible.
The program reimburses travel, registration, and other expenses associated with attending the proposed meeting, either in person or virtually. Applicants explain how attendance would benefit their dissertation project or future research and connect with their long-term career goals. Part of each award is contingent on a short, in-person presentation at the next available AAPM Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
