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 grant program by the Biophysical Society is focused on providing Travel Awards for the Society's Annual Meeting, aiming to support members at various career levels - from students and postdoctoral researchers to scientists. The awards recognize excellence in biophysics research, facilitating greater interaction among biophysicists worldwide. The selection process evaluates the scientific merit of submitted research abstracts by various committees to ensure awards reflect the diversity of the Society's membership. Additionally, Bridging Funds are available to Regular members who face financial constraints due to lapses in funding, ensuring continuous participation in the Annual Meeting. Awards vary by travel distance, with a maximum of $750. Specific eligibility requirements must be met, including the submission of an abstract for presentation.
