Each year, the Membership Committee provides mini-grant opportunities. If your application is se-
lected for an award, BPS will provide each event up to $500 to help you host an event.
Events are intended to promote interaction between different institutions and/or communities in a
geographical area not served by the Annual Meeting. They typically take place in an area not currently
well served by other opportunities for networking among biophysicists.

Since 2011, BPS has provided grants to support over 32 unique networking events
held at locations all over the world.
