Summary
There are a range of supportive grant opportunities designed to encourage meaningful research and learning in plant science and related fields. These opportunities are generally available to individuals at different stages of their academic or professional journey, including early-career scientists, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate students affiliated with accredited programs. Some funding options also welcome visiting researchers from outside the region who are interested in using diverse plant collections and scientific resources for their work.
Most of the opportunities provide financial support for independent research projects that explore topics such as plant evolution, ecology, global environmental change, and other aspects of botanical science. Funding amounts can vary widely depending on the scope of the project, with some awards providing a modest stipend to support fieldwork or short-term visits, while others offer competitive annual salaries and research support that can exceed eighty thousand dollars when intended to sustain multi-year research appointments.
Eligibility varies according to the type of award. Individuals with advanced degrees in biological sciences are typically encouraged to apply for the more substantial fellowships, which are intended to allow the investigator to pursue original research with access to extensive collections and archives. Undergraduate students at accredited institutions may qualify for smaller amounts to support faculty-guided research projects, encouraging early engagement in scientific inquiry. While these opportunities are primarily oriented toward scholars and students, nonprofit research institutions that facilitate collaborations or host visiting scholars may also benefit indirectly through expanded project outcomes and shared knowledge.
Geographically, the grants emphasize work connected to the northeastern United States, though visiting opportunities can extend to international applicants who plan to travel to and conduct research on site. The funds are intended to enhance scientific understanding, foster creative inquiry, and support projects that contribute to broader learning about plant diversity and environmental change.
