The '''Phycological Society of America''' ('''PSA''') is a professional society, founded in 1946, that is dedicated to the advancement of [[phycology]], the study of [[algae]].<ref name="si">{{cite web|title=Algae Research|url=http://botany.si.edu/projects/algae/links.htm#Organization|publisher=Smithsonian Institution|accessdate=27 December 2012}}</ref> The PSA is responsible for the publication of ''[[Journal of Phycology]]'' and organizes annual conferences among other events that aid in the advancement of related algal sciences.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Background |url=https://www.psaalgae.org/background |access-date=2024-09-29 |website=Phycological Society of America |language=en-US}}</ref> PSA also helps fund the scientific database, [[AlgaeBase]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=About AlgaeBase |url=https://www.algaebase.org/about/ |access-date=2024-09-28 |website=AlgaeBase}}</ref>
 
Membership in the Phycological Society of America is open to anyone from any nation who is concerned with the [[physiology]], [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomy]], [[molecular biology]], experimental biology, [[cell biology]], and [[developmental biology]] of related algal sciencesalgae. As of 2012, membership was approximately 2,000 from 63 countries.<ref name="si" />

The PSA offers fourmultiple honorarygrants, fellowships, and awards thatto researchers across different stages of their career. Winners are typically announced at the annual conference:

The PSA also offers [http://www.psaalgae.org/website/opportunities/grants.html grants and fellowships] to assist funding for algal research.
