| Program/Agency Statement |
The IGERT program has been developed
to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. 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. |
