Description
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) runs the Expanding Horizons Travel Grant to help students and trainees broaden the scientific meetings they attend. The program supports exploration of new and relevant topics that could inform current or future medical physics research and move the field in new directions. The proposed meeting cannot be specifically related to medical physics.
Support reimburses travel, registration, and other expenses associated with attending a meeting in person or virtually. Applicants explain how attendance would benefit their dissertation project or future research and connect with their long-term career goals. The program has two application rounds.
