APS-Simons Travel and Professional Development Awards
This program is designed to help to address a lack of travel support and professional development funding to faculty affected by opportunity inequities. By offering grants of $8,400 to faculty members facing limited access to travel and professional development support, this initiative recognizes the importance of collaboration and meeting participation for scientific progress and essential professional development. The program seeks to create a more equitable and inclusive environment by filling the gap in resources and opportunities for those affected by existing inequities in academia.

The Experimental Physics Investigators (EPI) Initiative
In partnership with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, EPI is bringing together tenured, mid-career experimental physicists who are accomplished leaders in their field to discover new ideas and collaborations in experimental physics with grants of $1,250,000 over five years. EPI supports inclusive research groups that strive to promote equity in the community. Researchers with high-risk, high-reward projects seeking to tackle their most creative, innovative research ideas can submit pre-proposals in the fall of 2024, with full proposals due in early 2025.
