Student Research Achievement Awards

Undergraduate Poster Award Competition

The Student Research Achievement Awards (SRAA) competi tion provides students the opportunity to present their poster to senior researchers in their field. If you are a graduate student (master’s or PhD) presenting a poster, this is an ex cellent opportunity to hone your presentation skills.

Participants must submit their abstract by the October 1 deadline and register for the SRAA competition by October 5, 2022. Travel Awards Looking for funding to present your research at the Annual Meeting? BPS provides Travel Awards for member students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists of all career levels to recognize excellence in biophysics and to promote greater in teractions among biophysicists throughout the world. Awards range in size, depending on travel distance to the Annual Meeting, up to a maximum of $750. Members from all over the world may apply, even those living in the San Diego area. Applicants must submit an abstract by the October 1 deadline and apply for Travel Awards by October 5, 2022.

The Undergraduate Poster Award Competition provides students the opportunity to polish their presentation skills and be recognized for high-quality undergraduate research.
