            <title><![CDATA[All Northwest Science articles published in 2026 will be Open Access!]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Last October we announced that Northwest Science&amp;nbsp;had enrolled&amp;nbsp;in BioOne&amp;#39;s Subscribe to Open (S2O) pilot, under which Northwest Science articles would be published Open Access at a cost to authors of only the standard page charges. The catch was that BioOne had to attract enough S2O institutional subscriptions to meet financial viability. We&amp;nbsp;can now confirm that this subscription threshold has been passed, so S2O is live! See&amp;nbsp;the full announcement&amp;nbsp;or the&amp;nbsp;Northwest Science homepage for more details.

            <description><![CDATA[Regrettably, there will be no NWSA Student Research Grant competition in 2024. In previous years, the NWSA has awarded up to $750/$1500 per student in support of promising research proposals at the undergraduate/graduate levels. After a turbulent financial year, the Association will be pausing the Student Research Grant for 2024. The was a difficult decision to take, and we very much hope to resume the award in 2025.
