Overview

The Michael D. Netherland Graduate Student Research Grant, awarded biannually by the Aquatic Plant Management Society (APMS), supports full-time graduate students researching aquatic plant management or ecology. With a budget of $40,000, this grant encourages innovative proposals addressing nuisance aquatic vegetation. Established to honor Dr. Michael D. Netherland's contributions, the grant emphasizes collaboration and scientific excellence in aquatic management. Applications are open to graduate students and faculty from accredited U.S. institutions, requiring a faculty sponsor for student submissions.

Student initiatives are among the most important core values of the Aquatic Plant Management Society. At the top of the list of student support programs is the Michael D. Netherland Graduate Student Research Grant (GSRG) offered by APMS in the area of aquatic plant and algae management and ecology.

The APMS GSRG was renamed to the Michael D. Michael D. Netherland. Mike had unrivaled passion for the science and practice of aquatic plant management. He trained under some of the discipline’s most productive scientists. He worked in government research, academia, and private industry; providing him a great perspective on partnership and joint success. He studied all aspects of aquatic plant management including diverse collaborations examining basic biology, ecology, and genetics.
Grant Objectives
The $40,000 Michael D. Netherland Graduate Student Research Grant is awarded biannually by the Aquatic Plant Management Society (APMS) for the most qualified proposal submitted. The objective is to provide a grant for a full-time graduate student to conduct research in an area involving aquatic plant management techniques (used alone or integrated with other management approaches) or in aquatic ecology related to the biology or management of regionally or nationally recognized nuisance aquatic vegetation (macrophytes, algae or cyanobacteria).
