IUB-McCormick Science Award - EAS

The McCormick Science Grant Fund was established by Dr. Charles O. McCormick III to support basic science research and to honor his grandfather and father. The College annually awards three grants of $3,500 each to the graduate student member of a faculty/graduate student team whose research, either proposed or in progress, is judged to be most creative, visionary, and innovative. Each February, the disciplines of Anthropology (Bio-Anth), Astronomy, Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, Chemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and Physics are invited to submit one nominee from their discipline for the grants.

Nominations are due to the College Graduate Office each March by the established deadline.

If you’re a graduate student who would like to be nominated for a McCormick Science Grant, notify your department directly and submit a one-page description of your collaborative work with your faculty mentor and please separately provide your curriculum vitae. Your faculty mentor and the department will then need to submit a supporting letter that explains the nature of your collaboration and how this collaboration is the most deserving.

While this fellowship is recognizing collaborative faculty and student work, the fellowship is for student support only.
