Awards

Currently there are two types of awards from the Society of Nematologists that are given based on applications or nominations submitted in advance of the annual meetings.

Student travel awards are given on a competitive basis to help finance graduate student participation in the society’s annual meetings. The awards are funded by companies that are sustaining associates of the society and by the Cobb Foundation.
Members of the society with sustained, outstanding achievements in research, classroom teaching, extension education, professional service, and overall accomplishments are recognized annually with the Syngenta Crop Protection Award, the Teaching Excellence Award, and being named Fellow of the Society. Recipients of these awards are selected a year in advance of receiving the awards at the following year’s annual meeting.
