Annual Laboratory Grant
 
Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory
If you are a university graduate student (Master's or Ph.D. level in any state or country) and your thesis or dissertation research concerns an Oregon or Idaho archaeological project, you are eligible for our annual laboratory research grant.
 
This grant is good for up to $1000 worth of obsidian characterization and/or hydration studies carried out at the lab (computed at our present price rate).  Laboratory analytical services include the trace element characterization, source identification, and hydration analysis of obsidian artifacts and XRF analysis of geologic source material.  The grantee gets to decide how to mix or match the different types of analytical work.
 
Should more than one applicant be selected, the lab grant will be awarded for each successful applicant at a percentage to be determined by Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory.
 
The 2007 grant deadline application is May 31, 2007. To apply, all you have to do is to send the lab a brief proposal concerning your obsidian-related research. The proposal should run no longer than about two pages -- if we have questions, we'll ask.
 
Here's what we need to know in your application:
 
    Name
    Address
    Telephone contact number
    E-mail address
    A few details about your academic program
    Thesis/dissertation title or topic
    Specific project research objectives and a brief description of the overall scope of your research
    How you plan on applying the lab analytical services in your research
    The specific services for which you would like to use the grant money (e.g., number of samples    
        and types of analysis)
 
That's it!  You can submit your application by mailing it to us at the lab or by sending it as an e-mail attachment (WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Acrobat .PDF, or straight text formats are all accepted). We will review all applications and will announce the winner(s) on this web page by June 15, 2007.
 
Here's what we would like from the grant recipient:
 
    A brief description of your project and photographs or other graphics that would help describe
        what you're up to - we'll provide a web page for your project or a link to your web page
    A copy of your thesis or dissertation when it is completed
