Young Investigators

APS is planning to offer travel stipends via the Young Investigator Travel Award for the 2015 APS Annual Scientific Meeting. A limited number of funding awards will be available to individuals presenting poster abstracts at the meeting, May 13-16, 2015 in Palm Springs, CA. Applicants may be from any research training background (basic or clinical science, psychology, medicine, or biostatistics) and may be at any level in training (students, residents, predoctoral trainees, postdoctoral fellows, and those who have completed their postdoctoral training within the past 3 years). Applicants must be APS members and must have an abstract accepted for presentation. Applications from nonmembers will not be considered.

To apply for funding, visit the APS website after January 6, 2015, to complete the online application.

Note that an applicant's abstract must be accepted for presentation before he or she is eligible to submit an application for this grant. Poster abstract acceptance letters will be emailed to primary authors in late December, and a listing of accepted abstracts, by primary author, will be available on the website by December 31. Please check the abstract acceptance list before applying for a Young Investigator Award.

Applications must be completed online by February 10, 2015.

Applications will be reviewed by the APS Scientific Program Committee, and stipends will be awarded in late February. Notifications will be sent to applicants in March. Those applicants selected to receive a 2015 award will receive their travel grants at the annual meeting.
