The New Phytologist Trust provides small grants to assist innovation and advancement in plant science.Often this will be in the form of part-support/sponsorship of a scientific meeting or awards such as poster and lecture prizes. We also have a limited number of grants available to sponsor focus groups, where up to five experts are brought together to focus on and brainstorm a particular subject area that requires attention. This might be, for example, a field where there are differing views and opinion. The aim of the focus group would be to rationalise the current status of research, work out ways forward and to produce balanced review(s) or forum article(s) for the journal New Phytologist, providing some clarity for the community.

Preliminary enquiries should be sent to Central Office

Please note that we do not provide travel grants to attend scientific conferences, other than for New Phytologist Symposia.
