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.
