Description
The ASPB
Education Foundation is accepting proposals from members of the American Society of Plant
Biologists for education and outreach activities that advance
knowledge and appreciation of plant biology.
In the past,
ASPB’s plant biology education grants were capped at $30,000. This year, grants
of up to $50,000 will be awarded to support education and outreach projects
that enrich and promote youth, student, and general public understanding of the
importance of plants. Projects can cover a wide range of concepts, including
the use of plants for sustainable production of medicine, food, fibers, and
fuels; the critical role plants play in sustaining functional ecosystems in
changing environments; the latest developments in plant biotechnologies,
including genetic modifications that improve the quality and disease- and
stress-resistance of crops; discoveries made in plants that have led to
improved human health and well-being; and careers related to plant biology.
