The Mineralogical Society of America ANNOUNCES: The 2010 MSA Grant for Research in Crystallography, Mineral Physics, Mineral Chemistry, and Mineralogy from the Edward H. Kraus Crystallographic Research Fund with contributions from MSA members and friends. The grant comprises up to $5000 for research in crystallography. Students, including graduate and undergraduate students, are encouraged to apply, in addition to young researchers. However, all proposals will be considered together. The award selection will be based on the qualifications of the applicant, the quality, innovativeness, and scientific significance of the research, and the likelihood of success of the project. The only eligibility requirement for the grant is that the applicant must have reached his or her 25th birthday but not yet have reached his or her 36th birthday on the date the grant is awarded (next in January 2010), and that the person is not an MSA Councillor. The grant is for research-related expenses only. Travel to meetings, conferences, short courses, non-research field trips, tuition, non-research living (room and board) expenses, etc. are not suitable uses of the money. Neither should the money be used for salary or wages for the researcher. Proposals that make such requests will not be considered further. The next award will be made in January, 2010. Application forms for the grant may be obtained at http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/Awards/Crystallography_Award.html or from Dr. J.
