graduate research award botany

[Swain, Pat (FWE)]

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:

Questions should be sent to the committee chair (NOT me this year) as
listed on the committee page of the website.
