Joseph A. Cushman Student Research Grant

Description

The Joseph A. Cushman Student Research Grant supports worthy Master's and Doctoral student research projects dealing with the systematics, biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and ecology of fossil or living foraminifera. Research on geochemistry using microfossils only as geochemical indicators is not funded; however, geochemistry that relates to any aspect of living or fossil foraminifera is fundable and should be explained. Current students with developed research projects in these areas are encouraged to apply for support. Applicants must be Cushman Foundation members at the time of application. A letter of support from the student's faculty advisor must be submitted. Previous awardees must include a short summary of the research completed with their application. Please visit the award's website or contact the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research for more information.
