The American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) Research Starter Grants provide one-time research support to investigators beginning their independent careers. The program supports proposed research, with preference given to applicants who have not yet received major external funding. It is part of the Society’s broader grants and awards program, which aims to stimulate interest and success in natural products research.
ASP is an international scientific society focused on the chemistry, biochemistry, and biology of naturally occurring compounds of medicinal and biological interest. Research Starter Grants help eligible members establish their independent work rather than providing recurring support. The program’s recipient history extends from 1997 through 2026.
