The National Science Foundation announces Integrative Graduate Education
and Research Traineeship Program (IGERT; program solicitation NSF
08-540).
Synopsis of Program:
The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)
program has been developed to meet the challenges of educating U.S. PhD
scientists and engineers who will pursue careers in research and
education, with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge in
chosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to
become, in their own careers, leaders and creative agents for change.
The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate
education for students, faculty, and institutions by establishing
innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile
environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional
disciplinary boundaries. It is also intended to facilitate diversity in
student participation and preparation, and contribute to a world-class,
broadly inclusive, and globally engaged science and engineering
workforce.
