Geoscience Graduate Research Grants

该奖项部分支持了GSA的研究资助计划。该计划的主要作用是为美国、加拿大、墨西哥和中美洲大学的研究生提供地质科学硕士和博士论文研究的部分支持。拨款的目的是为了资助一个研究项目，而不是维持整个费用。学生可以获得GSA研究生助学金，一次在硕士水平，一次在博士水平。由于申请的资助额通常远远超过可用资助额，因此申请将以竞争性的方式进行评估。根据问题的科学价值、调查人员的能力和预算的合理性对申请进行评估。助学金只授予个人；机构、学会和大学没有资格。GSA强烈鼓励妇女、地球科学界代表性不足群体的成员和残疾人充分参与这一赠款计划。

This award partially supports the GSA research grants program. The primary role of this program is to provide partial support of Master's and Doctoral thesis research in the geological sciences for graduate students at universities in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America. Grants are intended as an aid to a research project, not to sustain the entire cost. Students may receive a GSA graduate student grant once at the Master's level and once at the Ph.D. level. Since the amount of money requested for grants usually greatly exceeds the amount available, applications are evaluated on a competitive basis. Applications are evaluated on the basis of the scientific merits of the problems, the capability of the investigator, and reasonableness of the budget. Grants are awarded only to individuals; institutions, societies, and universities are not eligible. GSA strongly encourages women, members of under-represented groups in Geosciences, and persons with disabilities to participate fully in this grants program.
