Bill Dahl Graduate Student Research Awards

The Bill Dahl Graduate Student Research Awards are competitive research grants that support graduate student research in the botanical sciences. Multiple awards are granted annually to registered full-time graduate students to support specific research proposals. Each award provides funding to be used for research expenses (with restrictions). Winners are announced at the Botany conference reception.

$1,500 research grant per recipient

Applicants must be current full-time graduate students, members of the Botanical Society of America, have a faculty research advisor who is also a BSA member, and must not have won the award previously. The advisor must provide a one-page letter of support.

Current BSA members access the awards portal by logging in with BotanyID/Password and creating a new nomination for the Graduate Student Research Award. Applications require a title page, two-page abstract/proposal, one-page budget, one-page bibliography, one-page biographical sketch, and a one-page advisor letter (uploaded or emailed).
