5/9/17:  Spoke to Leslie at Women in Philanthropy:

Looks like they will be soliciting applications in the January 2018, they will select 3 in late spring who are invited to make presentations.  Then a selection is made in Jan. 2019 (the members vote on how much money to give to each, with knowledge of the budget that was submitted) and the money would come in the summer 2019.

She said there are no restrictions on what they fund (salary, travel, equipment are all ok for example).  They like to fund one science proposal per year, and have been low on science proposals lately.  She said like to support excellence at Ohio State and didn't think that degree of risk was a major factor, more that it is exciting.

Here are some grants that I found for travel funding that we can all think about applying for.  Here is the general link several of these came from: https://gradsch.osu.edu/funding/grants

0) Division of Astrophysics Travel grant to APS April Meeting. $600 (very easy to get on your first try, Brian won in Spring 2017)

1) $500 grant you could apply for from the APS Forum on Graduate Student Affairs. You'd probably have to get an APS membership, but that's not such a big deal.

2) Ohio State Ray Travel Award. What's cool about this one is that they really emphasize service record, which we can knock out of the park (because of ASPIRE). They'll allow you to apply for up to $1000.

3) Ohio State Critical Difference for Women Professional Development Grant,  Women of Color Advancement Grant, and Technology Grant.
