The Fund
Rick Schaeffer was a tireless promoter of Mass Spectrometry for almost three decades until his death in an automobile/tractor trailer accident in 2004. Shortly after that, his family, friends, associates, and Extrel CMS announced the formation of The Richard A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund to honor Rick's memory.
The Richard A. Schaeffer Memorial Fund has the purpose to help students and post-doctoral fellows in the field of mass spectrometry with the expenses associated for the presentation of their current work at scientific conferences such as
American Society of Mass Spectrometry and the
Gordon Research Conference on Gaseous Ions. In addition, the fund will aid youth in scouting activities. By focusing on these two activities, the Fund will support Rick's values and works.
