--- ## Description The Fundamental Physics Innovation Awards (FPI), administered by APS Innovation and funded by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, were established to stimulate new ideas and foster the creation of innovative technologies for tackling challenges in fundamental particle physics and interactions. The program supported activities that brought together researchers for collaboration, discussion, and exploration of emerging technologies. Funding was provided for seminar presentations (Lectureship Awards), extended collaborative visits (Visitor Awards), and small scientific meetings (Convening Awards). Recipients were selected based on recommendations from an external scientific advisory board, with the overarching goal of advancing fundamental physics research through creative and collaborative efforts. --- ## Due Dates - No current or upcoming deadlines. - The program was active from 2018 through 2023, with the last known awards given in 2023. --- ## Funding Amount - Funding supported three categories: - Lectureship Awards (seminar presentations) - Visitor Awards (longer collaborative visits) - Convening Awards (small scientific meetings) - Typical award sizes and durations are not specified in available materials. --- ## Eligibility - Open to researchers in fundamental particle physics and related fields. - Nominees and recipients were expected to adhere to APS Ethics Standards. - Violations of APS professional conduct standards could disqualify applicants or result in revocation of honors. --- ## Application Process - Applications were reviewed and recipients selected by APS based on recommendations from an external scientific advisory board. - No current application process, as the program is not active. --- ## Additional Information - The awards were designed to encourage collaboration and the development of new technologies in fundamental physics. - APS Honors encourages nominations and participation from individuals across diverse backgrounds and perspectives. --- ## External Links - [APS Fundamental Physics Innovation Awards Program Page](https://www.aps.org/funding-recognition/grant/fundamental-physics-innovation) - [American Physical Society Home](https://www.aps.org) - [APS Ethics Standards](https://www.aps.org/about/governance/policies-procedures/ethics-standards) --- ## Contact Information | Contact Type | Details | |--------------|---------| | APS Main Phone | (301) 209-3200 | | APS Contact Page | [https://www.aps.org/about/contact](https://www.aps.org/about/contact) |
