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
workshops;
these will
bring together
a small
number
of scientists
who wish
to focus
and brainstorm
a particular
topic or
issue.
The format
of these
workshops
is intentionally
flexible
to suit
a range
of projects,
but this
might,
for example,
include
a working
group that
intends
to focus
on analysing
new data
or indeed
analysing
old data
in the
light of
new techniques
and planning
the way
forward.
The output
from the
workshop
would be
written
up and
submitted
for publication
to New
Phytologist
as a research
manuscript
or synthesis
paper,
or in some
cases a
position
paper intended
for the
Forum section.
If you
are interested
in organising
a New Phytologist
Workshop,
please
complete
the proposal
pro
forma
and email
this to
the Managing
Editor
Holly
Slater
by the
end of
February.
Other
small grant
applications
can be
received
at any
time of
year and
there is
no set
pro forma
for these.
Preliminary
enquiries
should
be sent
to Holly
Slater
Please
note that
we do not
provide
travel
grants
to attend
scientific
conferences,
other than
for New
Phytologist
Symposia.
