The IAG is pleased to announce a new round of grants to support research and networking by IAG members in the geoanalytical or metrological sciences.
Each Geoanalytical Research and Networking Grant will be for up to a maximum of £20,000 towards the costs of a research project related to the goals of the IAG.
These grants were open to IAG full members only (not student members). One of the conditions of these awards is that the outcomes from the research should be published in Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research provided the manuscript meets the quality requirements of our journal.
The closing date for applications for an IAG Geoanalytical Research and Networking Grant is 31 March 2025. An application form can be downloaded here; submission instructions are given at the end of the form.
Applications will be assessed by the IAG Awards Committee based on a ranking scheme that assesses relevance to IAG core fields, quality of science, likelihood of success and possibility of publication in GGR.
