Donations to the General Fund will be used by the LAD Leadership to help meet the Division Objective which is to advance our understanding of the universe through the promotion of fundamental theoretical and experimental research into the underlying processes that drive the Cosmos. Funds are used to help build exposure with promotional materials for conferences and help recruit new members.
Donations to the LAD Prize Fund will help to support our prizes, awarded by the Division on an annual basis, for significant contributions to laboratory astrophysics: the Laboratory Astrophysics Prize, the Early Career Award, and a Dissertation Prize.
