AIP’s grants-in-aid program supports research in the history of the physical sciences and aims to help develop the community that conducts that research. The program is targeted especially at graduate students, but it also supports undergraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and well-established scholars and non-professional historians seeking supplemental research funds. Typical uses of the funds include travel to visit archives and to conduct oral histories. AIP welcomes applications to visit our own Niels Bohr Library & Archives facility, but research can be conducted anywhere in the world.
The maximum value of a grant is $2,500 (USD) and it is paid on a reimbursement basis—please retain and digitize receipts! Expenses can include long-distance and local travel, lodging, and meals; expenses related to research, including research assistance (such as hiring of a research assistant or digitization by archives staff); and other reasonable costs directly associated with the research.
