Description
The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) offers the Women’s Young Investigator Travel Awards to increase attendance by early-career female investigators and experienced postdoctoral researchers at its annual Plant Biology meeting. The awards support participation in Plant Biology 2027, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from July 31 through August 3, 2027, rather than a separate research project.
The program serves women in academic faculty-level, government research, and corporate research scientist positions within their first five years of appointment. It also supports experienced postdoctoral researchers seeking independent positions. Selection considers the science and quality of the applicant’s research abstract relative to their time as a young investigator, along with financial need.
