Abstract
Many professional societies utilize travel awards programs to foster inclusion and facilitate the professional development of underrepresented minority (URM) scientists. All member societies that participate in the Alliance to Catalyze Change for Equity in STEM Success (ACCESS) do so to some degree. Members of this meta-organization recently came together to share their different approaches to URM travel award program assessment. The practices of the Biophysical Society (BPS), one of the ACCESS member societies, is used as a case study to discuss the highlights of our findings. We share and discuss a framework for URM travel award program assessment.
