The Herb Society of America aims to promote knowledge, use, and delight in herbs through educational programs, research, and sharing the experience of its members with the community.
The Herb Society of America Research Grant Program is designed to support the research of herbs for their various historical uses, including flavoring, medicine, economic, industrial, or cosmetic purposes. This grant focuses on projects that have the potential to significantly increase the field's knowledge base. Targeting small, self-contained research efforts over a brief period, the grant is awarded annually as a vital component of HSA's mission to enrich herbal knowledge and application.
