Description
The Systematics Fund is a competitive award administered by the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) through its Endowment Funds. It supports aquatic taxonomy and systematics research by scientists at any career stage, including students and non-student researchers. The fund provides support for research expenses and publication costs, helping researchers carry out and publish work in these fields.
Awards may also support travel to the SFS Annual Meeting, provided recipients attend and present at the meeting. The fund is part of the Society’s broader Endowment Awards program, which makes awards based on research merit.
