Loeblich and Tappan Student Research Grant, with an application deadline in March, offers numerous awards of $3000 each. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

The Loeblich and Tappan Student Research Award supports undergraduate and graduate student research on any aspect of living or fossil foraminifera or other protists, including diatoms, coccolithophorids, dinoflagellates, acritarchs, or radiolaria. 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. Proposals will be judged upon scientific merit and financial need. 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.
