Marland Pratt Billings and Katherine Fowler-Billings Research Award

About this program

The Marland Pratt Billings and Katharine Fowler-Billings Fund for Research in New England Geology provides support for fieldwork-based projects focused on New England and adjacent regions of Canada and New York, with priority for work that produces geologic mapping and related spatial analyses. Successful proposals emphasize field research that leads to map products or GIS-based interpretations rather than projects that are purely sampling- or laboratory-based. Applicants should be investigators conducting regional field studies within the specified geographic area and must demonstrate clear plans for producing geologic maps or spatial datasets; purely lab-focused proposals are generally ineligible.
