Description
The Martin Frank Travel Awards–APS Summit are administered by the American Physiological Society (APS) to broaden participation among people pursuing professional careers in the physiological sciences. The awards support graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty who are either the first person in their family to earn a baccalaureate degree or come from an economically disadvantaged background.
Rather than funding a research project, the award helps recipients attend the Summit and participate in the scientific community. Recipients receive reimbursement for transportation and hotel expenses, along with mentoring and networking opportunities during the meeting. The Summit award is part of a travel award program offered several times a year in connection with individual conferences.
