Description
The Braslau Family Travel Grant is designed to help degree-seeking students and early career physicists—both US-based and international—attend the APS Global Physics Summit. The grant aims to broaden participation in the physics community by reducing financial barriers for presenters at the Summit, with a particular encouragement for applications from underrepresented minorities and women. Established in 2016 by David Braslau, the award honors his brothers Norman and Robert Braslau, and is administered in collaboration with the APS Forum on Diversity and Inclusion, the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics, and the Committee on Minorities in Physics.
