We are happy to announce the recipients of the Meteoritical Society Research Grants. The Meteoritical Society Research Grants are available to students and early career researchers who are members of the Meteoritical Society. These grants aim to promote collaborative research in the fields of meteoritics and planetary sciences, and they 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.

- Unlocking the origins and histories of interplanetary dust particles.
- Daniel Burgin (Australia)
- Ni-rich meteorites as samples of oxidised planetary cores.
- Stephanie Halwa (UK)
- Investigating solar wind implantation and volatile budget of highland-derived lunar impact glasses using hydrogen and nitrogen abundance and isotope composition.
- Tanja Michalik (Germany)
- Identifying ejecta and impactor material through reflectance spectroscopy – A case study with Monturaqui crater in Chile.
- Myrto Simopoulou (Greece)
