Dr. Robert L. Price IRF Facility Endowment Fund

IRF Travel Grant

As a shared resource facility, the IRF faculty and staff prioritize innovation, collaboration, and the discovery of new methods to advance scientific understanding. With this commitment, we are pleased to offer the IRF Travel Grant, generously supported by the Robert L. Price Instrumentation Resource Facility Endowment Fund benefactors. This grant is available to master’s and PhD students working in School of Medicine Columbia laboratories who are presenting their research at conferences through poster or platform sessions. Eligible students must be the first or sole author and present data derived from the use of high-end IRF equipment, such as the ThermoFisher QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR, Leica Stellaris 5, JEOL TEM or SEM, BD FACSDiscover S8, and others.

The travel grant awards up to $1,000, which can be used for registration fees, lodging, airfare, and mileage (if driving). A total of 10 IRF travel grants will be awarded per fiscal year, with 5 grants available each cycle (July 1st-December 31st and January 1st-June 30th). For more information, please refer to the travel grant Guideline and Application Packet.
