The Georgia Botanical Society encourages research, conservation, and education focusing on native flora throughout the state. The primary goal of the Marie Mellinger Field Botany Research Award is to support field-oriented research by investigators in the state of Georgia who are investigating a wide range of topics related to Georgia’s native plants, including floristic studies, habitat restoration, plant systematics, conservation, and plant community ecology (projects primarily focused on molecular research are not eligible). The deadline for application in 2024 is May 12.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?

Students and faculty at colleges or universities within the State, private consultants, government scientists, conservation land managers, and other qualified individuals with a demonstrated interest in field botany are eligible to apply for an award.
