2023 OIP International Research Achievement Award
OIP now accepting 2023 applications
OIP will give a Certificate of Achievement honoring a early career investigator for international plant pathology research activities. International research activities must be conducted in another country other than the home country of the investigator. Examples of research activities that qualify for recognition include innovative international survey network efforts, plant disease diagnostics, plant disease identification, plant-host interactions, and unique plant disease management and control methods. The APS-OIP Certificate of Achievement will recognize an early career investigator within 10-15 years after the completion of the master's degree or 5-10 years after the completion of the doctoral degree. Applicants do need to be APS members to qualify for the recognition. In addition to the Certificate of Achievement recognition, the investigator will receive a monetary award of $200.00.
Applications are accepted through May 1, 2023 and final selection will occur before the Plant Health 2023 meeting in Denver, Colorado, August 12-16, 2023.
