Description
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) offers research and meeting-support opportunities through its Grants and Scholarships programs. Grants-in-Aid of Research (GIAR) provide supplemental support for graduate research in integrative and comparative biology. Fellowships of Graduate Student Travel (FGST) support travel to distant laboratories, museums, and field sites for fieldwork, specialized training, or access to unique equipment and collections.
The Libbie H. Hyman Memorial Scholarship supports courses or research on invertebrates at field stations, emphasizing a first meaningful field-station experience. Annual meeting assistance includes the Charlotte Mangum Student Support Program for student housing or registration, and Broadening Participation Professional Development Travel Awards for students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. The latter aims to increase representation and inclusive involvement in SICB and integrative biology.
