Grants & Research Awards
TriBeta offers many grants and awards to encourage students to do their best research. Members can view all available rewards here and learn more about the criteria needed to receive each one.
The National Office of TriBeta established a research grant program with the purpose of awarding student members of Beta Beta Beta with research grants for student research projects. Chapters or individuals may make donations to the Research Foundation Program and be listed in the BIOS Journal each year. Donor levels are Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
This award is given each year for the chapters that most closely promotes our triple goals of scholarship, dissemination of scientific information, and promotion of biological research.
