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 during their careers. The proposed meeting should introduce new, relevant subjects that could inform current or future medical physics research and help the field progress in new directions.
The program emphasizes the scientific value of exploring meetings beyond those specifically devoted to medical physics, including how attendance could benefit dissertation work or future research. Support reimburses expenses for either in-person or virtual attendance. Round 1 is one of two application cycles in the program year.
