The Force and Motion Foundation is pleased to announce their $500 Spring Travel Award recipients. To apply, students were asked to upload a conference poster to the Virtual Poster Session hosted at ForceAndMotion.org (http://www.forceandmotion.org).
The Foundation’s Summer Travel Award program is already under way. Students are invited to upload a poster and apply at ForceAndMotion.org (http://www.forceandmotion.org). Application deadline for the summer review cycle is August 22 at 9 a.m. EST.
Spring winners include (click on a poster title to view the poster in the Virtual Poster Session):

The Force and Motion Foundation is a newly created 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, fully funded by AMTI (http://www.amti.biz) to support students in fields related to multi-axis force measurement and testing. The Foundation sponsors travel awards and educational scholarships for graduate students on a continual basis. More than $50,000 in funds have already been allocated for distribution in the coming year.
