Description
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) offers annual Student Research Awards to support outstanding graduate student research. These awards are administered through two main programs: the Grants-in-Aid of Research (GIAR) and the Fellowship for Graduate Student Travel (FGST). In addition to general awards, top applicants may receive special named awards honoring influential members of the society. The awards aim to foster the next generation of integrative and comparative biologists by providing supplemental research or travel funding.
