We are happy to announce the second recipients of 2025 for Meteoritical Society Research Grants. The Meteoritical Society Research Grant is available to students and early career researchers who are members of the Meteoritical Society. The Meteoritical Society Research Grant aims to promote collaborative research in the fields of meteoritics and planetary sciences. The grants provide funding to aid novel and interdisciplinary research ideas not yet funded elsewhere. We appreciate the many strong applications received for this opportunity, and we thank the Endowment Committee for their work creating this initiative and for leading the selection process.
