About the Graduate Student Technology Research Award:

The mission of the Graduate Student Technology Research Award is to foster and support fundamental research to expand the scientific foundations for new and improved technologies and for understanding and emphasizing fundamental research in materials sciences, chemistry, geosciences and physical biosciences. The goal is to design, model, fabricate, characterize, analyze, assemble or use a variety of materials and technologies to produce research. To assist the most talented graduate students from our colleges and universities, TMCF are issuing RFPs asking for proposals to support doctoral and graduate research in STEM. Specific areas of research emphasis include, but not limited to: chemical redaction theory, atomic, molecular and optical sciences; nontechnology or structures; biochemistry; solar photochemistry; materials sciences and engineering; computer science; life science research; nuclear physics; physical, biological and human-engineered systems; programs that explore elementary constituents of matter, energy and their fundamental interactions with various forms of matter and energy.

This support will enable these students to pursue more ambitious projects, present their work at national and international conferences as well as help accelerate their careers. The proposals will be judged by a five-member subcommittee of TMCF’s standing Science Advisory Committee.  Four research awards of $5,000 each will be granted to the best proposals.
