Description
The Heredity Fieldwork Grant is run by The Genetics Society and funded by income from its journal, Heredity. It supports the field component of genetic research, helping researchers collect data for work expected to produce results suitable for publication in the journal. Support focuses on practical fieldwork needs rather than laboratory procedures or downstream molecular analysis.
Heredity covers conceptual and applied genetics research with broad lessons extending across systems. Its interests include population genetics and genomics, functional genomics, epigenetics, ecological and evolutionary genetics, quantitative genetics, adaptation genomics, and crop and livestock genetics and genomics. The grant can support travel, accommodation, subsistence, sample-related consumables, and essential field equipment.
