The organization facilitates a variety of activities that support scientific research. Best known are the Sigma Xi Grants-in-Aid of Research program that has awarded funds to graduate and undergraduate students in a highly competitive pool of applications for more than 90 years, and the award-winning interdisciplinary journal, American Scientist.
