paleonet Foram workers with students and students--Cushman Awards



The Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research announces a request for 
proposals for the year 2003 Joseph A. Cushman Awards for Student Research, 
including the William V. Sliter Research Award. These awards, each with a 
maximum amount of  $1000, are to support research dealing with foraminifera 
or allied groups.  The awards will partially support M.S. or Ph.D. research 
projects not currently funded through other grants. Travel to meetings or 
conferences is not supported by this award.

Proposals will be judged upon scientific merit and financial need. 
Proposals should consist of a short (1-3 pages) summary of the student's 
research, a curriculum vitae, and a budget. Previous awardees should 
include a short summary of research completed with the award.  Two 
supporting letters of reference should be provided separately to the 
address below. Decisions will be made by the Cushman Foundation Board of 
Directors by the end of November 2003, and funds will be available for 
2004. Proposals should be submitted by September 15, 2003 and directed to
