AGA Symposia are small meetings that provide excellent opportunities for cross-stage interaction, and the American Genetics Association is committed to supporting early-stage attendees.
The American Genetic Association has established the Robert K. Wayne Conservation Scholarship and Research Fund to support graduate students whose research directly benefits a threatened species. The AGA has provided an initial endowment to support the first $6000 scholarship (awarded to Kyle Jaynes in 2023), and welcomes donations from members of our community who wish to grow the impact of this Fund in Bob’s honor.

The AGA grants awards each year to its members for support of special events that advance the mission of AGA, particularly to support students to attend the event.
We are committed to accomplishing this mission together with the most inclusive group of members and contributors possible, unrestricted by race, gender, sexuality, religion, political affiliation, or background. We have worked and will continue to work to broaden participation in this field to reflect the diversity of our broader community. We adamantly oppose any forms of discrimination, and we enthusiastically support the dissemination of peer-reviewed scientific research results to other scientists and the public at large.
