Founded in 1882, the Colorado Scientific Society promotes knowledge, the understanding of science, and its application to human needs, focusing primarily on earth science, but welcoming members with interests in all fields of science.

RESEARCH GRANTS AVAILABLE

The Colorado Scientific Society invites graduate students in Master's and Ph.D. programs at accredited colleges and universities to apply for research grants to be awarded in late April 2010. Several grants ranging from $600 to $1000 each will be awarded for field-oriented research on geology, geochemistry, and geophysics on the Rocky Mountain region. In addition, grants as large as $600 are awarded for engineering geology research (with no restriction on geographic area of interest) and one or more grants for as much as $1200 is offered for studies on the Heart Mountain fault in northwestern Wyoming or for Quaternary studies with no geographic restriction.
 
Applications should be submitted via email; however, regular mail is permitted but only as a last resort.

E-mail applications consist of the Grant Application Form and the Appraisal of Applicant (both in Microsoft Word format) as attachments to e-mails sent to:
 
            Don Sweetkind: dsweetkind@usgs.gov
 
Applications sent through the mail consist of five copies (one original and four copies) each of the Grant Application Form and the Appraisal of Applicant submitted together to:
 
Chair, Memorial Research Funds
Colorado Scientific Society
P.O. Box 150495
Lakewood, Colorado 80215-0495
 
If required, confidentiality of the supporting "Appraisal of Applicant" can be preserved by enclosing that completed form in a separate, sealed envelope to be mailed along with the student's application.
 
DEADLINE:  E-mail applications must be received by Don Sweetkind by April 5, 2010.  Mailed applications must be postmarked by the same date.
