Mycological Society of America (MSA) Climate Change Research Award
The Climate Change Research Award supports research that can potentially lead to practical, viable solutions to mitigate the fundamental causes of global climate change caused by human activity. Appropriate research is broadly defined as any climate research in which fungi and their many functions and/or output are essential, elemental aspects of the research. Creative and novel areas of fundamental and/or translational fungal-climate research will be considered, including work examining aspects of fungi not previously studied in detail.
