TBA (last known deadline was March 1, 2011)
According to ASPB's bylaws, "The Society shall recognize meritorious research and service in plant biology by the presentation of awards to deserving individuals. Selection of individuals for awards shall be made by selection from the nominations submitted by the membership." The nominations process has been simplified in recent years and requires only the development of a small portfolio in recommendation of the nominee. It is important to have a substantial response to a request for nominations. The larger the group of nominees, the greater the value and meaningfulness of the ASPB awards program. Do not delay. By starting the nominating process now, meeting the deadline should pose no problem. The awards will be presented at Plant Biology 2009 in Honolulu, Hawaii, at a plenary awards session scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2009.
