The Buzas Award for Travel to the Cushman Collection was established to support foraminiferal researchers wishing to use the world-famous Cushman Collection of foraminifera at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA. The award is open to graduate students and professional researchers who can demonstrate a need to use the collection and associated facilities. To apply, students must provide a short summary of their research including a title, why it is important, how the Cushman Collection will be utilized, and a detailed travel budget (travel, accommodations in or near Washington, D.C.). They must also include a CV with their name and address, affiliation, email, and phone number. Graduate students should supply a letter of support from their faculty advisor. A letter reporting the progress of the awardee and use of the Foundation's funds is expected within two years after the award. Please visit the award's website for more information.
