The Doc Brown Future of Physics Days (FPD) Travel Grants provide financial support for undergraduate students who are presenting their research in the Undergraduate Research Sessions at the APS Global Physics Summit. Funded by the Doc Brown Future Travel Award, these grants aim to facilitate student participation in the conference, foster engagement with the broader physics community, and offer valuable professional development experiences. Recipients are expected to register for the meeting, manage their own travel logistics, and complete a volunteer responsibility during the event. Travel funds are disbursed after the conference, contingent on completion of the volunteer assignment and an attendee survey.
