<p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">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 20 to 25 grants, depending on the amounts awarded, with a
maximum of $750.00 or less per grant. <span></span></p>

2018. Recipients will be selected by the
IUPAP Working Group on Women in Physics by the end of March, and all applicants
will be notified of the outcome by the first week of April, 2018.<span></span></p>

who have received a grant under this particular program within the last 2 years,
are not eligible to apply for a grant in 2018.<span></span></p>
