The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University aims to achieve excellence in scholarship and contribute to the advancement of society as an international center for the study of plants. It focuses on integrating living and archival collections for discovery and dissemination of knowledge to Harvard University students, local educational institutions, and the public. Its mission also includes enhancing the understanding and appreciation of plants, horticulture, and biodiversity.
The Sinnott Award supports scholars in botanical sciences conducting research with the Arnold Arboretum's living collection, which is noted for being one of the world's most thoroughly documented collections of temperate woody plants. The grant aims to support original research, encourage collegial exchanges and partnerships, and highlight the research value of the Arboretum’s collections, including access to the herbarium, library, archives, and laboratories. Awards up to $7,000 are provided for research and/or travel expenses, but not as salary stipends, with a preference for applicants who will reside at the Arboretum during their research.
