The mission of the funder is to advance the field of biophysics by supporting research and development in various scientific disciplines such as math, chemistry, physics, engineering, pharmacology, and materials sciences. This support aims to encourage the use of interdisciplinary skills to explore and develop new tools for understanding the mechanisms of life and the complex systems within our bodies.
The Family Care Grant offers up to $500 per family for attendees of the BPS Annual Meeting, aiming to support families by covering extra dependent care costs during the meeting. This initiative seeks to lower barriers to attendance, enhance professional development, foster new scientific relationships, and inspire future generations in the field of biophysics by ensuring broader participation within the community.
