AIP’s Grants-in-Aid program supports research in the history of the physical sciences and helps foster 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-academic historians seeking supplemental research funds.

The AIP Grants to Archives program is a unique funding opportunity that supports significant work in archives around the world to make accessible the records, papers, and other primary sources that document the history of the physical sciences with a focus on free and open access to the historical understanding of science and the science community.

AIP sponsors a conference series for students and early-career scholars working in the history of the physical sciences. These events provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and build a global community. The sixth conference took place in Salvador, Brazil, in August 2025.

AIP is proud to offer unique opportunities to empower the physical sciences community through its Helleman program. Learn more about the program’s initial phase and be on the lookout for a revised version of the program soon.
