Description
The Doc Brown Future of Physics Days (FPD) Travel Grants are administered by the American Physical Society (APS) to help undergraduate students attend and present research at the APS Global Physics Summit. The grants support registration and travel for students participating in the meeting’s Undergraduate Research Sessions, rather than funding the research itself.
Supported through the generosity of Doc Brown, the program provides a professional development opportunity centered on sharing undergraduate research at the Summit. Applicants must be APS members and have submitted an abstract in the designated undergraduate research sorting category. Applications are open for the 2027 meeting.
