The Wheatley award was established in 1991 with the support of the Forum on International Physics and is endowed by gifts from Biomagnetic Technologies and IBM, and by individual donations in memory of John Wheatley. The award is given to a physicist, generally from a developed country, who, at personal or professional cost, goes to a less developed country and promotes significant physics there, as John Wheatley did in Argentina.
