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 provides Travel Awards for the Biophysical Society's Annual Meeting, designed to support students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists from all career levels, facilitating their attendance and participation. The awards aim to recognize excellence in biophysics research, promote diverse international interactions among biophysicists, and are judged based on the scientific merit of the participants' abstracts.
The Travel Awards cover different categories: Regular members facing a lapse in funding can apply for Bridging Funds, while members from low and lower-middle-income countries can seek the Low-Income Country Travel Awards. These awards cater specifically to those who might otherwise be unable to attend the meeting, offering up to $3,000 in travel funds for international attendees and up to $750 depending on the travel distance for other awardees. The selection processes emphasize inclusivity and diversity, reflecting the society's commitment to professional development across the spectrum of its membership.
