Graduate students working on any aspect of geographical research (social or physical sciences, qualitative or quantitative methods) are encouraged to apply. Proposals will be evaluated based on the clarity of research proposal, including specification of research problem, context, and methods, as well as the intended use of the award. Proposals are accepted for research to be conducted anytime through January 2009.
The award winner will be contacted shortly before the AAG meeting in Boston (April 15-19, 2008) and formally announced at the GSAG business meeting during the 2008 AAG meeting (time and location TBA).
