Description
The American Geophysical Union’s travel grant portfolio supports participation in scientific meetings as part of its commitment to a thriving, inclusive scientific future. These programs fund meeting attendance rather than research projects. Student grants support both in-person and virtual attendance at the AGU Annual Meeting, while postdoctoral grants support in-person participation.
The six offerings serve different career stages and scientific communities. The Basu Innovation Scholar Grant recognizes innovative approaches in space physics and aeronomy, while the Bruno Martinelli Travel Fellowship helps volcano researchers expand personal and professional networks. An NSF-funded faculty program supports attendance by faculty at under-resourced primarily undergraduate institutions. The Lloyd V. Berkner Travel Fellowship supports Earth and space scientists internationally.
