Melbourne R. Carriker Research Award

Last week I was awarded the Melbourne R. Carriker Student Research Grant from the National Shellfisheries Association! The award is a competitive grant ($1250) awarded annually to recognize a student's excellence in the area of shellfish research. I am grateful to the NSA's funding and support towards my research, and I look forward to presenting my research at an upcoming NSA meeting.

​The Melbourne R. Carriker Student Research Grant is named in honor of one of the Association's most distinguished past Presidents and the person who formalized the regular publication of the society meeting notes as the Proceedings of the National Shellfisheries Association.

My successful application materials can be accessed through the "Awards and Grants" section of my website! If you are interested in applying for the award in future cycles and would like to get in touch, please send me an email.
