The Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDP) started the Raphael and Jolene Gruener Endowment Research Travel Awards in 2011. The Grueners have been tireless supporters of interdisciplinary research and education at the University of Arizona. They are also well known for their love of travel. The Gruener endowment will support awards that fund student research travel, bringing together these two passions of the Grueners.
