The Society for the Study of Evolution aims to foster the research careers of young scientists in memory of Professor Theodosius Dobzhansky. It reflects Dobzhansky's lifelong commitment by encouraging research across all areas of evolutionary biology and promoting diversity within the scientific community.
The Graduate Research Excellence Grant (GREG) - R.C. Lewontin Early Award, administered by The Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), aims to support students in the initial phases of their Ph.D. studies. The award offers up to $2,500 USD to aid in collecting preliminary data or to expand the research's scope beyond existing funding capabilities. This could include visiting extra field sites or working in other laboratories. The grant is designed to be flexible in terms of research focus and use of funds, without a strict requirement on how quickly the funds must be spent. Proposals should demonstrate that the requested support does not overlap with existing funding awarded to the student or their advisor.
