Description
The Starter Culture Microgrants, offered by the Genetics Society of America (GSA), provide seed funding for projects that address the needs of the broader genetics community. The program is designed to support initiatives with significant intellectual, practical, or geographic impact, and to foster inclusivity and community benefit. Proposals are encouraged from GSA members at any career stage, and projects may be in-person or virtual. The grants aim to catalyze new ideas, foster connections, and advance the mission of the GSA by supporting projects that benefit groups rather than individuals.
