Type: Vanderbilt Reinvestment Award (VRA)
The objective of this TIP is to launch new initiatives related to immersion experiences for Vanderbilt students and innovation in trans-institutional research activities and education, including entrepreneurial endeavors that would benefit from accessibility to a “nano-maker” space. The TIPs funding is enabling VINSE to be among the elite schools in making cutting-edge nanoscience facilities accessible to undergraduates to promote a highly skilled workforce and foster increased appreciation of the basic R&D underlying most modern technology. The project provides immersion experiences at VINSE for undergraduate research that could spur entrepreneurial activities around maker and nanotechnologies.
