Nsf Grant Will Faciliate Continued Collaborative Work In Archaeochemistry
Nsf Grant Will Faciliate Continued Collaborative Work In Archaeochemistry
Laure and Adjunct Curator Ryan Williams were just advised that their proposal to the National Science Foundation for “Growing Collaborations and Student Training at the Elemental Analysis Facility at The Field Museum” has been funded, the fifth such award of this kind since 2008.
With these grants, the EAF has been able to attract highly collaborative projects by offering financial support to offset some analytical costs and provide subsidies for travel and accommodation expenses for students. The key part of these grants is the training of undergraduate and graduate students in method development, statistical processing of data, and interpretation. These NSF grants have enabled the EAF to link leading scholars and graduate students to the Museum’s extensive collections and other collections, and has provided them the tools to analyze these assemblages.
