Description
The Undergraduate Research Award from the Mycological Society of America (MSA) is intended to encourage and support undergraduate students engaging in research across all areas of fungal biology. This includes, but is not limited to, medical mycology, cell biology, physiology, systematics, evolution, genomics, and ecology. Awardees will conduct independent or mentored research with guidance from a faculty advisor. The program aims to recognize promising undergraduate researchers and provide them with a platform to share their findings with the broader mycological community, including at the annual MSA meeting.
