Funding covers laboratory and fieldwork expenses, as well as presentations at conferences, symposia, and workshops, helping researchers both produce findings and communicate their results.
The program supports practical research needs such as analytical services, consumables, software, imagery, sample shipping, and research-related travel. Proposals are assessed on the applicant’s record, supervisor recommendation, scientific merit, and potential career impact. Supported researchers also contribute to the Society’s communications by sharing a summary of their work and citations for resulting publications.
