Description
The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) offers this award through its competitive Endowment Awards program, which primarily benefits student and early-career members. The award supports general aquatic research in any area of aquatic science, without a specified regional emphasis or research-topic focus.
Funding can support conducting research, publishing the work, or traveling to the SFS Annual Meeting to share it. Meeting travel support is specifically for recipients who both attend and present, rather than attend alone. The award connects support for aquatic research with opportunities to publish results and present them to the Society’s scientific community.
