The American Genetic Association annually grants EECG Research Awards to graduate and post-doctoral researchers who are at a critical point in their research, where additional funds would allow them to conclude their research project and prepare it for publication.
This year's cycle received 28 applications, with 10 recipients selected for funding (Table 1). Six PhD students and four postdocs receive funding.
A notable distinction went to Kyle Jaynes, who secured the inaugural Robert K. Wayne Conservation Scholarship and Research Award. This award was established in memory of Robert Wayne to support graduate students whose research directly benefits a threatened species. We welcome donations from members of our community who wish to grow the impact of this Fund in Bob's honor.
