The SPIE Endowment Matching Program supports optics and photonics education and the future of the industry by contributing a funding match of up to $500,000 per award to colleges and universities with degree programs in optics and photonics or in other disciplines allied to the SPIE mission.
The SPIE-Franz Hillenkamp Postdoctoral Fellowship in Problem-Driven Biomedical Optics and Analytics provides an annual award of $75,000 to translate new biomedical optics and biophotonics technologies to clinical practice for improving human health.
This $100,000 annual award, presented jointly by the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center and SPIE, supports and promotes research and education in quantum optics and photonics within IBM-HBCU Quantum Center member institutions.
The Berns-SPIE SPARK Grants are a partnership between SPIE and the Beckman Laser Institute to support young research scientists — either postdocs or faculty — who are using lasers and other optically based systems to study basic cell processes or to develop technologies to diagnose and/or treat diseases in an innovative way that could have a major impact on the field of biophotonics.
