Grant and Jody Heiken Research Grant in Volcanology

About this program

The Heiken Fund administers the Grant and Jody Heiken Research Grant in Volcanology to support graduate‑level research on volcanic processes. Awards finance student research projects in volcanology (example: 2022 recipient Watts Dietrich, University of Cincinnati, “Characterizing the impacts of diagenesis on a diatom biomarker”). Eligibility is limited to enrolled graduate students conducting research in volcanology, who should propose a clear, sponsor‑relevant research project and be affiliated with a graduate program.
