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 Travel Awards provided by the Biophysical Society aim to facilitate the participation of students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists at various career levels in the Society's Annual Meeting. The awards, which are based on the scientific merit of the applicants' research abstracts, intend to recognize excellence in biophysics and enhance global interaction among biophysicists. Additionally, the awards are designed to reflect the diversity of the Society through the involvement of different committees in the selection process. Special categories of Travel Awards include Bridging Funds for Regular members facing a lapse in funding and Low-Income Country Travel Awards for members residing in low and lower-middle income economies, to support their travel to the Annual Meeting in the US. Specific eligibility criteria apply to each award category, and the award sizes vary, with a maximum of $750 for travel, depending on the distance to the Annual Meeting, and $3,000 in travel funds plus meeting registration for Low-Income Country Travel Awards.
