The New England Botanical Society's mission is to support and encourage botanical research on the New England flora, including plants, algae, and fungi. This includes promoting studies through field, lab, and herbarium work and facilitating access to New England's botanical resources for researchers who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
The Leslie J. Mehrhoff Award, established by the New England Botanical Society, is designed to support botanical research in several specific areas: field studies, herbarium research, library research, and archival research. This grant program aims to advance our understanding of the flora within northeastern North America, particularly the New England area, but also considers work with a broader scope that pertains to New England. The types of research supported include studies of vascular plants, nonvascular plants, algae, fungi, and lichens. Eligible expenses for funding cover a wide range of research-related costs such as travel, living expenses during research, supplies and equipment for field or lab work, and moderate stipends for project time. This award is tailored for projects that struggle to find traditional funding avenues, indicating a preference for innovative or under-supported botanical research areas. Applicants are not required to be members of the New England Botanical Society to apply for the award.
