Awards up to $2,000 are available to senior undergraduates and graduate students who are conducting field-based volcanology research on U.S. volcanoes, preferably in the Cascade Range, Aleutian Arc, Hawaii, Yellowstone, or Long Valley. The funds are intended to defray the costs of conducting field studies, including such items as travel to the field area, living expenses while in the field, supplies, or analytical services. Applicants do not need to be U.S. citizens. Consideration in the selection of grant recipients will be given to the characteristics that best defined Jack Kleinman: exuberance, integrity, reliability, loyalty, and the abilities to relish challenge, inspire enthusiasm in others, and delight in the natural world. An example of the scope of work envisioned is a project involving geologic, geochemical, or geophysical investigation with a strong emphasis on fieldwork. Cooperation with a staff member at one of the USGS volcano observatories is given considerable weight in the selection process. Successful applicants are encouraged to present their results as part of the USGS Kleinman Seminar Series and to publish their work in an appropriate research journal. Applications should be submitted by April 1, 2022 and include: (1) a short project description (3-5 pages) including project objectives, strategy, anticipated products, and a project budget; (2) two letters of recommendation, including at least one from a current academic adviser or instructor. The project description and letters should address explicitly how the project meets the selection criteria listed above. Indicate other sources of funding for the work and how the Kleinman funds would be spent. Include the status of field permits if required, and COVID-19 contingencies. Email application materials to kleinmangrants@xxxxxxxxx with â??KLEINMAN 2022â?? in the subject line. Applications will be evaluated by staff from USGS volcano observatories. The Community Foundation for Southwest Washington will make final decisions on the grants, announced in mid-April.
