Description
The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) presents Student Research Awards annually to graduate students to support their research. Students apply through either the Grants-in-Aid of Research (GIAR) Program or the Fellowship for Graduate Student Travel (FGST) Program. GIAR is suited to students seeking funds to get research underway, while FGST is more appropriate for proposals centered on travel to a field site.
The SICB Student Support Committee reviews applications and awards support across both programs. Special Named Student Research Awards recognize top applicants in the same competition while commemorating members of the Society’s scientific community who have died. These named awards are supported by donations to the Student Research Fund.
