Please call the following to the attention of graduate students doing research involving the flora of New England. Proposals are due March 1.
The New England Botanical Club offers each year up to $2,000 total in support of botanical research to be conducted by graduate students. The awards are made to stimulate and encourage botanical research on the New England flora, and to make possible visits to the New England region by those who would not otherwise be able to do so. It is anticipated that two awards will be given, although the actual number and amount of awards will depend on the proposals received. The awards are given to the graduate student(s) submitting the best research proposal dealing with systematic botany, biosystematics, plant ecology, or plant conservation biology. See the full announcement at the NEBC website: http://www.rhodora.org/Graduate.html Questions should be sent to the committee chair (NOT me this year) as listed on the committee page of the website.
