2010 Research Grants for Graduate Students
_______________________________________________________________________
The ASPT is pleased to announce the Society’s annual competition for research grants for graduate student investigators. Support is available for both masters and doctoral students to conduct fieldwork, herbarium studies, and/or laboratory research in any area of plant systematics. No award will exceed $1000, and it is unlikely that proposals from previous recipients will be funded. Proposals will be funded on the basis of merit, regardless of the research area within systematics.
Proposals will be reviewed by the Society’s Awards and Honors Committee and must include the following:
- Curriculum vitae;
- Proposal (the text, including figures but excluding literature cited, should not exceed two single-spaced pages) that describes the research to be conducted, emphasizing the role the grant funds will play;
- Itemized budget;
- A letter of recommendation from the student’s major professor or primary research facilitator at the time of the proposal.
Eligibility: Applicants must be members of ASPT at the time of the application deadline. Details regarding ASPT membership can be found at the ASPT homepage (http://www.aspt.net/index.php).
Proposal submission: Proposal materials and letters of recommendation must be submitted electronically as pdf files. Items 1-3 above should be submitted as a single document. Use the following formats for filenames for the proposal materials and reference letter, respectively:
student name_proposalASPT.pdf
student name_letterASPT.pdf.
All application materials should be submitted to Mark Fishbein via e-mail to mark.fishbein@okstate.edu.
Submission deadline for all materials: 8 March 2010.
