Page Text: RECENT AWARDS & GRANTS Supporting Global Research, Discovery & Conservation The International Aroid Society proudly funds innovative work in aroid research, taxonomy, fieldwork, and conservation through its annual Awards & Grants program. Open to scientists at all career stages—students to senior researchers—these grants fuel impactful, real-world projects across the globe. From understudied tropical habitats to complex evolutionary questions, IAS-funded efforts help fill critical knowledge gaps and protect aroid diversity for generations to come. REAL-WORLD IMPACT FROM THE GROUND UP From Funding to Field: How Grants Translate into Impact Our grants provide crucial support for: Biodiversity surveys in underexplored regions Taxonomic clarification and phylogenetic research Conservation initiatives and sustainable propagation Educational outreach and ethical cultivation Each funded project is selected for its scientific merit, relevance to the aroid community, and potential for broad impact. RECENT FUNDING HIGHLIGHTS In the last year, three diverse projects across Asia and the Americas were selected from the 22 proposals submitted worldwide. Phylogenomics of "Orphan Groups", Understanding the Evolutionary History of Chlorospatha and Xanthosoma By: Mónica Carlsen, PhD Location: Missouri Botanical Garden—United States Purpose: Resolving a longstanding taxonomic puzzle and investigating their historical biogeography. Impact: Provides a clearer evolutionary framework for two poorly understood genera that may help inform future conservation priorities, particularly for those more susceptible to environmental change. Alocasia of the Meratus Mountains: Diversity, Ecology, Distribution, and Threat Issues By: Zainudin Basriansyah Akar, Yayasan Tumbuhan Asli Nusantara Foundation Location: Indonesia Purpose: Document species in an isolated and underexplored region as a foundation for conservation efforts Impact: Fills a critical data gap, supporting future conservation planning amid rising threats from habitat loss and unregulated collection. The Diversity and Distribution of Aroids (Araceae) in Mt. Makiling, Philippines By: Phil Anthony Sumabat Location: University of the Philippines Los Baños Purpose: Field research on the diversity and distribution of aroids, with focus on the genetic diversity of Amorphophallus longispathaceus Impact: Generates baseline data on aroids in an underexplored biodiversity hotspot and informs conservation planning, species management, and potential contributions to food security
