Research Opportunities

 

As a member, you can apply to certain scholarships available on the National Website and publish your research in the Tri-Beta scientific Journal, BIOS. Each research grant requires for an individual to apply by submitting an application. More information is provided on the National Website.

​

Members will also have an opportunity to attend district and national Beta Beta Beta Conventions. National registration fees help support 15 district conventions every year and the national convention every other year.The District convention is the most important regional project. It offers student members a chance to report their research and to hear from outstanding graduate investigators and teachers who give invited lectures and hold informal discussions. Like graduate society meetings, the national conventions offer a chance to share current research and discuss scientific issues. Field trips have become an important part of the national convention which is often centered around some biological feature unique to the convention locale. Students who present papers at the national convention are eligible for research stipends. TriBeta also helps defray travel costs by offering travel grants to chapters attending the convention.
