Description
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) runs the Expanding Horizons Travel Grant to help students and trainees broaden the range of scientific meetings they attend. The proposed meeting should introduce new, relevant topics that could inform current or future medical physics research and move the field in new directions, rather than focus specifically on medical physics.
The program supports both in-person and virtual attendance through reimbursement of travel, registration, and other meeting-related expenses. Applicants explain how attending would contribute to their dissertation work or future research and connect with their long-term career goals. The program has two application cycles; this opportunity is Round 2.
