Description
The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), in collaboration with the Purity Survey division of Eurofins EAG Laboratories, supports student researchers seeking pilot data for subsequent competitive applications to major private and government research funders. The award provides analytical chemistry services at EAG’s Liverpool, New York facility, supporting master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, and pilot work for prospective postdoctoral projects by students still enrolled in graduate programs.
Applications are assessed for scientific merit and potential career impact, alongside the candidate’s record and recommendation letter. Finalist proposals enter a random drawing for the single annual award. This selection model aims to reduce the concentration of competitive funding among a small number of repeatedly successful applicants.
