DeLill Nasser Award for Professional Development in Genetics
Genetics Society of America (GSA)
Who can apply: Open to GSA members in the graduate student or postdoc membership category, worldwide. The application form opens only to a current membership in one of those two categories. Post-baccalaureates, lab technicians and people searching for faculty positions who are no longer postdocs are not eligible. GSA membership dues… What is funded: USD 1,000 to subsidise attendance at a conference or enrolment in a laboratory course. The award is paid to the individual, not the institution, so recipients complete a Form W-9 (US citizens) or a Form W-8BEN (citizens outside the US) and should plan for their own tax. Deadline: 18 September 2026. The funder does not state a timezone for this deadline, so check the official page for the exact cut-off time. Round: Fall cycle, for courses and conferences taking place between 1 January and 30 June.
