Program Description
The Don Eden Graduate Student Research Award fosters excellence in graduate student research throughout the California State University (CSU) system in biotechnology-related research, covering a broad range of topics in cellular, molecular, chemical and physical studies of the life sciences.
This award honors Professor Don Eden (San Francisco State University) who held his students, colleagues and himself to the highest standards of excellence in research. In 1998, Professor Eden received the CSUPERB Faculty Research Award and was a tireless participant in CSUPERB governance from that time until his death in 2000. Professor Eden's own research was in biophysics and physical biochemistry, therefore, nomination of students using these approaches is particularly encouraged.
Eligibility Requirement
The Don Eden Award program is open to any CSU student engaged in master's level graduate research or in the first two years of a PhD program. Nominees will present research posters at the CSU Biotechnology Symposium (January 8-9, 2010, at Santa Clara Marriott) and finalists will present talks during the awards session.
