Description
The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) offers the Mulholland Fund for Biogeochemical Research through its competitive Endowment Awards program. Established in honor of Patrick (Pat) Mulholland, the fund supports students studying stream biogeochemistry by helping them travel to the society’s annual scientific meeting and present their work.
Despite its research-focused name, this is a travel award rather than funding for conducting a research project. Its subject focus is stream biogeochemistry, and its support is tied specifically to attendance and presentation at the SFS Annual Meeting. The fund sits within the society’s broader Endowment Awards program, which supports student research and travel through general and named funds.
