The American Breeders Association held its first meeting in 1903 to discuss the 'new' science of Genetics for practical breeding of plants and animals. In 1914, the ABA became the American Genetic Association.
Today, the AGA continues to disseminate achievements in genetics through the Journal of Heredity. The Journal, in print for over 100 years, publishes organismal research in areas of general interest to the genetics community.
The AGA funds an annual President’s Symposium, small conferences and workshops through its Special Events Awards, and the Stephen J O’Brien award to recognize the best student-authored article each year.
SPECIAL EVENTS AWARDS APPLICATION DEADLINE
Monday 7 May 2012
The Council of the American Genetic Association invites applications from its members for support of special events. The AGA provides 4-6 awards of approximately $5,000–20,000 each year. See the Awards page for further details; contact Anjanette Baker, Managing Editor agajoh@oregonstate.edu for application forms. |
