Description
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) offers research and meeting support through several grants, scholarships, and awards. Grants-in-Aid of Research (GIAR) provides supplemental graduate research funding in integrative and comparative biology. The Fellowship of Graduate Student Travel (FGST) supports travel to distant laboratories, museums, and field sites to conduct research, learn specialized techniques, or use unique equipment or collections.
The Libbie H. Hyman Memorial Scholarship supports invertebrate courses or research during a student's first meaningful field-station experience. Annual meeting support includes the Charlotte Mangum Student Support Program and Broadening Participation Professional Development Travel Awards. The latter supports students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty, with the goal of increasing representation and inclusive involvement in SICB and integrative biology.
