Membership in the Cushman Foundation supports the goal of promoting research on foraminifera and allied organisms and benefits members in various ways. Membership dues chiefly support the publication of the Journal of Foraminiferal Research in print and online. With strong editorial leadership, the Journal of Foraminiferal Research publishes scientific articles of high professional standards, as reflected in the caliber of its articles, the superior quality of its reproductions and its high frequency of citation. An index of articles and directory of members is published annually in the October issue. A useful summary of recent publications on foraminifera appears in each issue. In addition, the Foundation publishes an actively growing series of Special Publications, many of which are currently available for purchase.

Memberships for those from developing countries pay 1/3 the rate for Regular Online memberships, and 1/2 the rate for Postdoctoral Online memberships. The reduced rates are available to members from nations with economies other than “High-income” as classified by the World Bank. If you would like to purchase a membership at this discounted rate, please email us at cushmanfoundation@allenpress.com.
