ECORD Research Grants 2013
The European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling (ECORD) is sponsoring merit-based awards for outstanding graduate students to conduct research related to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. The research may be directed toward the objectives of upcoming or past DSDP/ODP/IODP expeditions (core material and/or data). ECORD Grants cover travel and lab expenses or other approved costs related to the study. Preference will be given to studies conducted in a laboratory/institution other than the applicant’s home institution. Grants will not typically exceed 2000 €. Applicants should be enrolled in either a PhD or “early-career” post-doc programme at any institution from an ECORD country.
