Goals of AGeS-Grad
-Broaden access to geochronology data.
-Educate users of geochronology data.
-Promote synergistic science by fostering new relationships between labs and other disciplines.
-Provide strategic, high-quality, scientifically valuable geochronology data for projects in which both users and producers of the data are intellectually engaged.
Eligibility details:
-Students currently enrolled in a graduate degree program at an accredited college or university in the United States or its territories.
-Students may only receive one AGeS grant during each graduate degree (MSc or PhD). Preference will be given to students who have not received a previous AGeS award.
-Students may submit one AGeS proposal per funding cycle.
-AGeS labs may support up to 4 proposals in an application cycle
AGeS-Grad seeks a diverse applicant and awardee pool to meet our goals of broadening access to geochronology data and expertise. All applicants meeting the eligibility requirements listed above may apply, and all proposals will be reviewed based on the Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts points system of the Review Criteria. The Broader Impacts criteria include the potential for the proposed project to build new networks for the student and to enable the student to acquire new geochronology skills. We encourage applications from students without previous geochronology experience, from graduate students at all universities (not only research intensive), and from graduate students belonging to historically minoritized groups.
AGeS is committed to advancing and supporting Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (BAJEDI) principles and values. We recognize that the future of geoscience will be strengthened by broad participation. You can find helpful advice from past AGeS-Grad awardees on proposal writing and visiting labs on the Resources for Graduate Students page.
