Barringer Family Fund for Meteorite Impact Research Applications Due Soon

Each year, the Barringer Family Fund, facilitated by Dr. Kring at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, awards a small number of competitive grants of 2500-5000 USD to support MA, PhD, and postdoctoral students as they carry out field research at known and suspected impact sites around the world. Between its establishment in 2002 and the present, the Barringer Family Fund has supported the research of over 50 students.

This fund reflects the family’s long-standing commitment to responsible stewardship of The Barringer Meteorite Crater and the family’s steadfast resolve in maintaining the crater as a unique scientific research and education site.
