The William V. Sliter Research Award was established in 1998 in memory of William V. Sliter. The award supports graduate student research in Mesozoic and Cenozoic 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. Applicants must submit a letter of support from their faculty advisor. Previous awardees must include a short summary of research completed with the award. Please visit the scholarship's website and contact the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research for more information.
