Fellows of the Entomological Society of America Grant

The Fellows of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) honor individuals with remarkable contributions to entomology across various fields, including research, teaching, and outreach. Nominees do not need to be ESA members but must demonstrate excellence in their respective areas. This prestigious recognition aims to inspire future entomologists by highlighting the significant impact of their work in advancing entomological science and its applications in society.

Fellows of ESA are individuals who have made outstanding contributions to entomology— via research, teaching, extension, administration, military service, and public engagement and science policy —and whose career accomplishments serve to inspire all entomologists.
