Grants From Annals of Botany Company

The Annals of Botany Company offers grants to support botanical science activities. However, due to the current financial climate, securing funding is challenging. The company prefers to fund projects promoting their publications, such as BotanyOne and The Week in Botany, rather than individual grants. Applicants must be botanical scientists or organizations aiming to advance relevant research. A project conclusion must include an article for BotanyOne, ensuring broader benefits to the plant science community.

NOTE: Although applications for an Annals of Botany Company Grant are still welcomed, in the present financial climate, and in the light of the policy stated above, funding is generally hard to secure.
The Annals of Botany Company has traditionally awarded grants and donations in support of individual activities within botanical science. However, the Company's view has increasingly become that its support for freely-distributed products such as BotanyOne and The Week in Botany offers greater and more general benefit to plant science than does the awarding of single grants. These two free titles together consumed £74k of expenditure in 2023.
Any applications should be concise and include a sentence or two in response to the following six questions. The third question is decisive, as funding is largely restricted to events which, at least in part, are likely to promote the journals themselves. At the conclusion of any project which receives our funding, an article for BotanyOne is also expected.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are botanical scientists and organisations with a view to forwarding botanical science, to assist in relevant research.
