Inspired by Phil Smith's lifelong support for science and his early influence on the organization of the Cave Research Foundation (CRF), the graduate research grant program is dedicated in his memory. Each academic year, CRF accepts proposals for graduate student research in cave and karst studies leading to either a master's or doctoral degree. Proposals may be in any field of the earth, natural, or social sciences so long as the research addresses topics related to caves or karst. The award ceiling is determined annually by the CRF Board of Directors; however, typically, four to six grants are awarded annually, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each.
