American Orchid Society

The AOS established a Research Committee in 1951 to assist and stimulate research on orchids. Since then nearly 200 grants and fellowships totaling more than $1.1 million have been provided to worthy students. The Society has supported research to study a wide range of subjects to scientists throughout the world: 31 states in the USA; Australia, Cameroon, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Israel, Malaya, New Guinea, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Topics range from fundamental to practical. Submission deadline: March 1 of each year. Eligibility: Any orchid researcher with some form of institutional affiliation: appointment at college, university, museum, herbarium, or botanical garden as research staff or research associate or similar; membership in an orchid society including AOS is not sufficient or required. If you are unsure, please contact the Chair of the Research Committee. All nationalities, all places of residence.
