An award to encourage graduate students to broaden their phycological training by defraying the costs of attending phycology courses at biological field stations. Students must ensure that they submit to Eric W. Linton, Chair of the Grants-In-Aid of Research Committee by electronic submission in PDF or Word .doc format:
- A complete application
- An unofficial copy of your transcripts, if possible.
- One letter of recommendation from his/her major advisor, sent directly to Dr. Eric Linton.
REMINDER: Students that receive this award will have reporting requirements to the PSA of four items, such as a 1 page final report. Please see the application web page for complete details.

An Important Message from the Co-Editors of Journal of Phycology
Beginning in 2012, the incoming Co-Editors of the Journal of Phycology will enact additional guidelines for submission to the Journal. These guidelines are in keeping with their overall goals to broaden the Journal's readership, improve the review process, and increase the quality of articles published. They also plan a platform for rapid publication of high impact work, through a new Letters format. Please take a few minutes to read about these exciting changes.

An Important Message from President Susan Brawley
December 1, 2011
Dear PSA Members,
The recent First Referendum on "phycology" in the Journal name produced a little more confusion than intended, but the EC's primary intent was to gather information from the membership, and we got it (i.e., more than 50 variations on a small set of suggested alternative titles for the Society's Journal, which are being evaluated). We'd probably all agree that the name of the Journal is not the most important factor in the success of our Journal. Instead, the essential ingredient is rapid publication of excellent science across the spectrum of our field.
