Who can apply
- Undergraduates only, and only for Drosophila work: you must be a current GSA member in the undergraduate category, and the award may be spent only on travel or registration to present Drosophila research at the Annual Drosophila Research Conference. A letter of recommendation from the PI of your lab or another professor or supervisor familiar with your research must be uploaded by the same deadline. GSA states no citizenship or country-of-study bar and past recipients include students at Canadian universities. GSA membership dues are a membership cost, not a fee to apply.
Stage dates
The application and the letter of recommendation are both due on this date; the referee uploads through a separate emailed link, so line them up early. Unlike the DeLill Nasser page, this page carries no second, stale "Deadline" heading.17 September 2026
