ASPT is pleased to announce that submissions are open for the society’s annual Graduate Student Research Grants. Support in the amount of up to $1500* is available for masters and doctoral students to conduct fieldwork, herbarium studies, and/or laboratory research in any area of plant systematics. ASPT values diversity in science, and encourages applications from botanists from all backgrounds regardless of race, gender, ability, sexual orientation, or citizenship. Six proposals will receive special recognition: the Rogers McVaugh, William R. Anderson, Shirley and Alan Graham, W. Hardy Eshbaugh, Vicki A. Funk and BIPOC Excellence in Systematic Botany Grants. The BIPOC Excellence in Systematic Botany grant will be awarded to a high-ranking proposal from an applicant who self-identifies as Black, Indigenous, or as a person of color, and expresses interest in being considered. Proposals will be funded on the basis of merit regardless of the research area within plant systematics, including taxonomy, floristics, phylogenetics, and other research that contributes to our understanding of plant biodiversity. A list of past awardees and topics can be found on the ASPT website.

*Unnamed grants will not exceed $1200, and named grants (the Rogers McVaugh, William R. Anderson, Vicki A. Funk, Shirley and Alan Graham, W. Hardy Eshbaugh, and BIPOC Excellence in Systematic Botany Grants) will not exceed $1500.
