Description
The American Physiological Society (APS) offers the Martin Frank Travel Awards to help trainees and early-career faculty attend the American Physiology Summit. The program combines reimbursement for meeting travel with mentoring and networking opportunities during the Summit, aiming to reduce financial barriers and broaden participation in the physiological sciences.
The award supports researchers who are either the first person in their family to earn a bachelor’s degree or from an economically disadvantaged background. Rather than funding a separate research project, it helps recipients participate in the meeting and build professional connections. Applicants are evaluated on their demonstrated need for travel support.
