AIP Undergraduate Research Prize

The AIP Undergraduate Research Prize formerly recognized exceptional undergraduate research presented in poster form at the ACA Annual Meeting, celebrating early achievement, curiosity, and promise in the physical and structural sciences. Sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, the prize highlighted the importance of engaging students in research at an early stage and encouraging their continued participation in the scientific community. While this prize is no longer awarded, it remains an important part of the ACA’s award history, reflecting a longstanding commitment to supporting undergraduate researchers and fostering the next generation of scientists.
