MSA Graduate Research Prizes
Two MSA Graduate Research Prizes of $100 each are awarded annually to the two best ORAL research papers in mycology presented by graduate students at the annual MSA meeting. Two MSA Graduate Research Prizes of $100 each are awarded annually to the two best POSTERS in mycology presented by graduate students at the annual MSA meeting.
Requirements:
- The applicant must be a member of the MSA.
- Persons eligible for a Graduate Research Prize are M.Sc. or Ph.D. candidates or those who have been awarded the degree within one year of the annual meeting.
- Previous recipients of either category of Graduate Research Prize are not eligible for a second award.
How to apply: An individual should apply for consideration for a Graduate Research Prize by so indicating on the Abstract Submission Form for the MSA annual meeting. Application may be made for either but not both categories of Graduate Research Prizes. A student can apply for and receive both the Graduate Fellowship and a Graduate Research Prize. Applicants should please include their Social Security number and Student I.D. number.
Evaluation: The Student Awards Committee will evaluate applicants on the basis of significance of the work, creativity, appropriateness of the methods, clarity of presentation, and validity of conclusions. An effort will be made to send at least two members of the committee to each oral presentation and for all members to view the poster competition. Ad hoc members of the Awards Committee will be appointed by the Chair to avoid a conflict of interest or to facilitate the judging. These prizes will be announced at the Awards ceremony at the Annual Meeting.
