Description
The Graduate Student Research Award from the New England Botanical Society (NEBS) provides funding to graduate students conducting original research in botany, plant ecology, and closely related fields, with a strong focus on the flora, plant communities, and ecosystems of New England. The award is intended to encourage outstanding student research that advances scientific understanding of the region’s botanical diversity, ecological interactions, conservation, and the impacts of environmental change.

Multiple awards may be made in a given year.
