FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: AGeS-Grad Proposal Deadline on Feb 1, 2024; info session on Dec 20, 2023

[Emily Zawacki]

The next AGeS-Grad Program deadline is Feb 1, 2024. 

 

AGeS-Grad is an NSF funded opportunity that provides up to $10,000 of support for graduate students to acquire geochronology data for their research projects and offers hands-on lab experience while being mentored by geochronologists. AGeS awardees will visit one of 60+ AGeS labs, participate in sample preparation and analysis, and learn fundamental aspects of the methods, techniques, and theory used in modern analytical facilities. We recommend that applicants contact a preferred AGeS lab about potential projects as early as possible because each lab may support a maximum of 4 projects during each application cycle.

 

AGeS-Grad plans to make 18-22 awards in 2024. 

• Any student currently enrolled in a graduate degree program at an accredited college or university in the United States or its territories is eligible to apply. 
• AGeS seeks to fund broadly in terms of research, geochronologic technique, and participants.
• AGeS encourages applications from graduate students without previous geochronology experience, from those in MSc programs, and from those belonging to historically minoritized groups.

 

For additional program details please see the AGeS³ website.

 

We will be holding an information session about the AGeS-Grad program on Wednesday December 20, 2023 at 9-10 am Mountain Time to explain the program and answer questions. Previous AGeS-Grad awardees will discuss their experiences.  The session will be by ZOOM and will be recorded, posted on the website, and available for review afterwards.
