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 Theodosius Dobzhansky Prize is an annual award recognizing the accomplishments and future promise of an outstanding young evolutionary biologist. The grant supports candidates who employ creative approaches to address significant questions in evolutionary biology, irrespective of the taxonomic group or whether the approach is empirical or theoretical. The prize encourages applications from a diverse range of researchers globally and includes a $5000 reward. Additionally, the awardee is expected to attend the annual Evolution meeting to receive the award and present their research. The Society for the Study of Evolution covers the costs related to conference attendance, including registration, accommodation, and travel. Awardees are also encouraged to submit an article to Evolution, which will be fast-tracked for review and made freely available, highlighting their awarded research.
