The Rosemary Grant Advanced Awards [1], part of the Graduate Research Excellence Grants [2], are to assist students in the later stages of their PhD programs. Funds can be used to enhance the scope of dissertation research, such as to conduct additional experiments or field work. Awards up to US$3500 will be granted. 

Students are eligible if they are SSE members, will defend after September 15, 2023, and are either 1) in at least their 3rd year of a >4-year doctoral degree program, 2) in the 2nd year of a 3- to 4-year program, or 3) otherwise deemed “advanced” by a letter from their advisor or graduate director. Students should also confirm that the proposed work is outside the scope of other funding currently held by either the student or their advisor. 

This award is not limited to students in the United States, and we welcome applications from our international members.

Application instructions and evaluation criteria are now available on the Rosemary Grant Advanced Award page [3].

Deadline: September 15, 2022, 5:00 PM Eastern
