\"\"<\/p>\n

Richard Caprioli, Ph.D.<\/strong><\/a>, Stanford Moore Chair in Biochemistry and Director Emeritus of the Mass Spectrometry Research Center<\/a>, pioneered technological advances that enabled research in diverse fields. For more than 50 years, Dr. Caprioli mentored and trained the next generation of scientists to apply state-of-the-art methodologies and instrumentation to their research.<\/p>\n

To honor and continue this legacy, the Richard Caprioli Basic Sciences Research Award for Technology Education Fund <\/strong><\/a>was established to allow Vanderbilt University Ph.D. students in the School of Medicine to pursue an opportunity to obtain hands-on training and education in one or more new technologies outside of those obtained in their graduate research training.\u00a0<\/span>The scholarship will be awarded to a Ph.D. student to enhance the approach to their research program.<\/p>\n

The award will fund travel and other related costs to attend a workshop or obtain hands-on training at in an expert laboratory. Mentor and student should plan the application together since this opportunity enhances both the student’s and the faculty mentor’s work. We anticipate two application cycles each academic year, with one award made in the spring and the second in the fall. \u00a0Awards will be made for actual expenses, up to $4,500, that are incurred during the fiscal year in which the Caprioli Award is made.<\/p>\n
