Research Awards
Nebraska Native Plant Society has limited funds to support native plant research and conservation. Grant opportunities are provided periodically. These grants are made possible through memberships.
In 2020, the Nebraska Native Plant Society Research Grant was renamed the Dr. Robert B. Kaul Nebraska Native Plant Research Award.
Charges associated with indirect costs, institutional overhead, and/or facilities and administration are not allowed to be paid using Nebraska Native Plant Society funds.
