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) - Rosemary Grant Advanced Awards are designed to support PhD students in the later stages of their doctoral programs within the field of evolutionary biology. Specifically, the grant aims to extend the scope of dissertation research through additional experiments or field work. The award offers up to US$3500 to qualified students who are members of SSE, planning to defend their PhD after September 15, 2024, and meet certain academic standing criteria. The fund encourages students to pursue research beyond the scope of their current funding, emphasizing the enhancement of their academic work in evolutionary studies.
