NEW BRUNSWICK MUSEUM
GEORGE FREDERIC MATTHEW RESEARCH GRANTS IN GEOLOGY
FOR 2003

George Frederic Matthew MA, DSc, LLd, FRSC (1837-1923) was a founding
member of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, formed in 1862.  He
published over two hundred papers on geology, palaeontology and
archaeology.  Although he maintained his career at the Custom House, he
became internationally known for his studies in palaeontology.  Much of his
collection is now part of the holdings of the New Brunswick Museum.  This
grant programme recognizes his enormous contribution by supporting field
and laboratory work and encourages collections-based research of a museum
nature.

Proposals of high quality in the areas of palaeontology, stratigraphy,
paleoecology, mineralogy and petrology are invited.  All, or most, of any
field research must be carried out in New Brunswick.

Research Fellowship - $1000.00 - open to established scientists attached to
universities, museums and government agencies, as well as graduate students.

Research Scholarship - $500.00 - open to students only, both graduate and
undergraduate.
