This fund was generously established by H. Dean and Susan Regis Gibson to help one or two outstanding graduate or undergraduate students with particular attention, but not limited, to female students to conduct brain imaging research in the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging. The H. Dean and Susan Regis Gibson Award is given on the basis of scholastic achievement, completed and/or intended research achievement, and the successful completion of a research proposal for conducting brain imaging research in the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging.
The $1,250 - $3,000 award is given on the basis of scholastic achievement, completed and/or intended research achievement, and the successful completion of a research proposal for conducting brain imaging research in the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging. Funds from the award can be used to cover research expenses including scanner time, subject fees, and research supplies.
