91撸色 Travel Grants
The Special Projects and Philanthropy Committee has limited funds (awards range from $200 to $1200 with a total of $5,000 for all awards) to help 91撸色/NSBP/NSHP members attend an 91撸色 National Meeting to make a presentation. The 91撸色 Board of Directors approved an additional $10,000 for grants to support travel for high school and two year college faculty who are from underrepresented groups and/or from institutions whose students are predominantly underrepresented. Individuals who qualify should note this on the application form.听NSBP and NSHP members are eligible for SP&P diversity travel grants with consideration given to 91撸色 members.听
Application
The Deadline to submit an is June 23, 2022. Previous grant recipients are eligible to reapply.
Criteria for Funding
- The person requesting must be a member of 91撸色 (at least one if part of group for meeting). Additionally, NSBP and NSHP members are eligible for SP&P diversity travel grants with consideration given to 91撸色 members.
- The request gives quality exposure to 91撸色 through ability to provide service to members, recruit new members, and/or strengthen 91撸色's goal of enhancing physics education.
- All academic levels appropriate to the conference will be involved in both planning and attendance at the event. For example, if a conference concerns college physics, two-year colleges and four-year institutions as well as research institutions should all be involved in planning and attendance.
Special Projects and Philanthropy Committee
Membership includes one member from each from the following Area Committees:
Committee on Physics in High Schools
Committee on Physics in Two-Year Colleges
Committee on Physics in Undergraduate Education
Committee on Graduate Education in Physics
Committee on International Physics Education
Committee on Diversity in Physics
Committee members serve two-year terms.听Appointed by the 91撸色 President, the Chair will serve a one-year term and will be rotated among the representative Area Committees.
Description of Awards
"Grant awards are for one year only, although new requests for additional funds in future years may be submitted. The Philanthropy Grants cannot be used for salaries but are to be used for conference fees, travel (including room and board), and registration." 听听Where practical, the Special Projects monies should be divided evenly among groups (high school, two year college, four year college/university, and research institutions) applying for funds in both planning and attendance.听听"A maximum in each year for awards should be based on the budget for that year.听That is, in any one year at least two awards should be able to be made in each category (conferences and travel)."听听"International travel should include international members (members outside North America) wishing to attend the 91撸色 Summer or Winter Meetings. This might need to be limited to ensure travel by members to other areas can also be funded."听听All awardees are expected to make presentations at national/section meetings of 91撸色 on outcomes of their award and make a final report to the 91撸色 grant committee within one year from the funded event.
