The American Physical Society Innovation Fund
The APS Innovation Fund provides funding to advance collaborative projects that align with the APS Strategic Plan and support the APS mission “to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics for the benefit of humanity, promote physics, and serve the broader physics community.”
The 2024 application cycle focus is the 2025 International Year of Quantum (IYQ). In recognizing the imperative to cultivate, enrich, and disseminate activities that foster a deeper understanding of quantum concepts and offer opportunities to the public, we are calling upon our members to take a leading role.
The duration of funding is one and a half years. Projects will begin at the start of 2025 and be assessed in early 2026.
The APS Innovation fund will award up to five grants, each valued at a maximum of $50,000, to support community engagement, education, and diversity, equity, inclusivity, belonging, and accessibility activities.
