Deadline - Mary Sue Ittner Grant Applications are due March 31, 2023

[Robin Hansen]

This is a reminder that MSI grant applications are due March 31, 2023. PBS did not receive any applications for nor award any grants in 2022 and we're hoping to receive requests this year. Information is available on the PBS website
https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=grant

Click on Application PDF in the first paragraph to begin the process. If you have any questions, please contact me or another board member.

This is also a reminder that we have  special funds available for a grant to study microwave pollination. Please write for details as this is separate from our usual MSI grant process. The application will be the same but there are some specific requirements to obtain funding for this grant.

These funds are typically awarded to a university student or graduate working on a masters' or doctorate in the field of bulb studies. If you know someone who is studying in this field, pass the word! PBS has funded studies in such countries as India, Mexico, and the United States, so even if you don't live in North America, you may still qualify.

Regards,

Robin Hansen
