Description
The Braslau Family Travel Grant, offered by the American Physical Society (APS), helps US-based and international students and early-career physicists attend the APS Global Physics Summit. It reduces financial barriers to presenting research and benefiting from the professional and academic interactions of a scientific meeting. The grant supports meeting participation and travel rather than direct research funding.
Established in 2016 by David Braslau, the grant honors his brothers Norman and Robert Braslau, whose careers spanned physics and systems engineering. It is collaboratively administered by the Braslau Family, the APS Forum on Diversity and Inclusion, the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics, and the Committee on Minorities in Physics.
