Yatkola - Edwards Research Grants 2021
The Yatkola-Edwards Research Grants honor two University of Nebraska-Lincoln geology students, Dan Yatkola and Paul Edwards, who were killed in an auto accident on March 12, 1976. Both students were actively involved in research on Nebraska-related topics. The Nebraska Geological Society (NGS), wanting to encourage the investigation of the regional Earth sciences in the state, named its research grants program in their honor. Through the generosity of members and friends of the NGS, a total of 99 research grants totaling $32,750 have been awarded to students since 1977.
At least two graduate-level research grants and two undergraduate research grants are available for 2020. Funding amounts are a minimum of $500 for graduate-level proposals with matching funds provided by AAPG. These grants must be used only for expenses incurred either during the conduct of qualifying research in Nebraska (see “Guidelines for Proposals” below) or during the publication of said research.
