Funding Opportunities for International Scientists

APS International Travel Award. The APS Foundation, in cooperation with the Office of International Programs, accepts applications annually for its International Travel Award. This award is intended to support travel costs for early- to mid-career international APS scientists native to and working in developing countries who otherwise would not be able to attend APS meetings.
