About the Plant Science Research Network

/in , /by

The Plant Science Research Network (PSRN) was established in August 2015 through the support of a National Science Foundation Research Coordination Network (RCN) award to the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) and the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), to further the goals outlined in the 2013 publication, The Plant Science Decadal Vision.

Activities

Since 2015, the PSRN has grown from nine founding members to fourteen organizations! Members of the PSRN nominate individuals to organize and participate activities such as strategic planning workshops, community listening sessions, and exhibiting at meetings, such as the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) and the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS).

Learn more about the PSRN workshops by reading the workshop reports.
