Description

The Buzas Award for Travel (BAT) was established in 2017 by Dr. Martin A. Buzas and his family 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. The BAT was established to emphasize the importance of verifying taxonomy in foraminiferal research. The Cushman Foundation is pleased to offer the Buzas Award for Travel to support graduate students and professional researchers studying foraminifera who wish to visit the Cushman Collection and associated facilities in the Department of Paleobiology, Natural History Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., USA. Applicants must submit a summary of their research including a title, why it is important, how the Cushman Collection will be utilized, and a detailed travel budget. Graduate students should supply a letter of support from their faculty advisor. Please visit the scholarship's website and contact the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research for more information.
