<p class=""><span class="">We have received funding to launch a new round of the IUPAP Travel Grants Program. This program was created to help fund women from developing and low income countries, who may not have another opportunity, to attend a regional or international conferences, workshop or school. We expect to be able to fund approximately 25 grants at a maximum of $700.00 or less per grant. </span></p>
<p class=""><span class=""></span><br></p>
<p class=""><span class="">Grant applications should be received no later than May 9, 2016. Recipients will be selected by the IUPAP Working Group on Women in Physics by Mid-May, and all applicants will be notified of the outcome by the first week of June, 2016.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class=""></span><br></p>
<p class=""><span class="">Only women physicists from low income developing countries may apply. Due to limited funding, those who have received a grant in the past, under this program, are not eligible for a second grant.</span></p>
