J. Thomas Dutro, Jr. Award<https://www.priweb.org/research/dutro-award>

In recognition of the importance of basic systematic research to the science of paleontology, the Paleontological Research Institution annually presents the J. Thomas Dutro, Jr. Student Award in Systematic Paleontology to a deserving graduate student. This award of $500 is available to any student enrolled in an advanced degree program (Masters or Ph.D.) who is pursuing research in any area of systematic paleontology. Acceptable costs are research supplies, bench fees, and/or travel in support of fieldwork, museum visits, or to present research at a scientific meeting.

Successful proposals will include clearly articulated hypotheses, descriptions of how anticipated data will help to test them, and why the work is significant. Studies of living taxa must clearly articulate the connection to deep time and evolutionary history.

The application deadline is April 30 of each year. To apply, email a brief description of the research project (two-page maximum, including a simple budget of how the funds will be used, references, any images, etc.) to studentaward at priweb.org<mailto:studentaward at priweb.org>. The student's primary research advisor must email a separate letter of recommendation in support of the project to studentaward at priweb.org<mailto:studentaward at priweb.org?Subject=Dutro%20Student%20Award%20nomination>, also by April 30.

Award recipients are expected to provide a progress report on supported research within one year of the award.
