Description
The American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) supports its members’ field work in natural products through the John Daly Field Work Research Grant. Supported activities include collecting samples for extraction, bioassays, and analysis, as well as field bioassays investigating feeding attractants or deterrents, competition for space, and growth stimulation or inhibition. The grant honors John W. Daly, a chemist and pharmacologist known for research on bioactive natural products, particularly amphibian alkaloids, and his enthusiasm for field collection.
The program supports the practical needs of collection efforts and gives special consideration to proposals involving local people in collection and other onsite work. International collections and collections involving indigenous individuals must demonstrate benefits to the area and community, such as educational or professional opportunities, ecosystem conservation, or potential commercialization.
