Henry Daniell International Scholar Award (HD ISA)
The SS-ASPB developed the Henry Daniell International Scholar Award to support international plant biologists. Dr. Henry Daniell financially supports the award. Dr. Daniell is a foreign-born American plant biologist who pioneered the chloroplast genetic engineering concept to produce and orally deliver biopharmaceuticals to treat major metabolic or genetic disorders.
The HD ISA is a one-time, competitive, merit-based award intended to recognize international outstanding plant biologists on both the graduate and postdoctoral levels. The HD ISA award provides partial support to attend and present at the SS-ASPB annual meeting.
HD ISA Scholars should demonstrate their ability to make a positive contribution to plant biology, which can be shown by scientific research publications and presentations and assumed leadership in the field.
