Stefano Vicini Dissertation Award

The Stefano Vicini Dissertation Award recognizes the accomplishments of one outstanding Biomedical Graduate Education (BGE) doctoral student, in a manner similar to Graduate Studies’ Glassman Awards.

Each BGE Ph.D. program may nominate one graduate whose degree was conferred by the Graduate School between June 2025 and May 2026. The nomination form is completed by the Ph.D. program director or by a designated faculty/staff member acting on behalf of the program. Nomination Deadline: TBD

The nomination packet should consist of one PDF document containing in the following order:

  1. A letter of nomination from the director of graduate studies, department chair, or program director
  2. The dissertation abstract

A selection committee convened by Chair of the BGE Graduate Advisory Committee (GAC) will review the nominations and choose a winner. The winning graduate will receive a cash prize.
