Award Process

AGeS awards will generally be announced within 3 months of the proposal deadline.

AGeS awards do not go directly to the students nor to their institutions. Travel is generally reimbursed, although we also work with students for airfare purchased in advance, etc. to ease their financial burden. Lab and other processing costs are invoiced directly to ASU upon analysis completion. Significant changes of plan will be reviewed and adjudicated by the Steering Committee. 

Awardees can spend up to their award amount until the date specified in their award documents (typically within one year for AGeS-Grad awards, or within the specified 18-month duration for AGeS-DiG awards). Overruns on analytical expenses or other costs will not be covered by AGeS. Underruns on awards will be absorbed and used for subsequent awards or to cover unanticipated expenses. 

All questions regarding finances should be directed to finances@agesgeochronology.org
