This award is intended to provide MSI faculty with an opportunity to present original research in evolution, systematic biology, evolutionary genomics/informatics or other disciplines typically represented at the SSE/SSB/ASN meetings.  As such, your application must include a talk/poster title.  (Abstracts are not required to apply.)  In addition, you will be asked to provide a brief (1 page) statement describing how this award will contribute to your professional/scientific development, as well as provide benefit to your students and institution.
