Lillian and Alex Feir Graduate Student Travel Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry, or Molecular Biology, with an application deadline in June, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The Lillian and Alex Feir Graduate Student Travel Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry, or Molecular Biology encourages graduate students working with insects or other arthropods in the broad areas of physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to affiliate with ESA's Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology Section and to attend the ESA Annual Meeting. All students using arthropods to study any aspect of basic or applied physiology, biochemistry, or molecular biology in the broadest sense for their Master's or doctoral research are eligible to apply. Students from all science departments are encouraged to apply. The applicant does not have to present a paper in order to receive the award. A student may re-apply but preference will be given to a student who has not received the award previously. Nominations may be made by anyone. A maximum of two self-nominations are allowed per year. Nomination packages for this award must include a CV; two letters of endorsement from professional colleagues and clientele; a statement written by the student covering the topic or areas of research for project, methodology, reasons and enthusiasm for attending the meeting; and official or unofficial transcripts of all graduate education. Please visit the award's website or contact the Entomological Society of America for more information.
