Description
The Botanical Society of America (BSA) administers the Bill Dahl Graduate Student Research Awards to support and promote graduate research in the botanical sciences. The award group includes the J. S. Karling Graduate Student Research Award and provides funding for the research described in each recipient’s proposal. Applications are reviewed for their potential contribution to botany, research foundations and design, and budget justification.
The group also includes the AJ Harris Graduate Student Research Award, established in her memory in 2023 and first presented in 2024. Harris’s integrative research spanned specimen-based science, paleobotany, phylogenomics, biogeography, and computational biology. This memorial award recognizes research aligned with hers. Applicants seeking consideration must select the AJ Harris checkbox in the application.
