Grants
A3 furthers its mission by annually funding grants on snow and avalanche research. These programs help share accurate information on snow and avalanches, facilitate technical transfer between research scientists and field practitioners, and promote research into topics that increase knowledge on snow and avalanche phenomena.
RESEARCH GRANTS
A3 awards Research Grants to members conducting research on snow and avalanches. Both graduate students and field practitioners are encouraged to apply. Preference is given to proposals whose results will both benefit avalanche field practitioners and will extend our understanding of snow and avalanche phenomena. Proposals should embody the theme of the International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW): “A merging of theory and practice.” Applications are reviewed in November each year.
A3 has allocated $10,000 for research grants to be awarded in the 2023-2024 season.
Applications for 2023-2024 Research Grants are due by November 17, 2023.
