Graduate Research Traineeships
Description
The last competition for this program was held in 1996 after which the
Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Program took its
place. There are still ongoing GRT projects, the last of which will terminate
sometime in 2001.
The Graduate Research Traineeship (GRT) Program was designed to increase the
numbers of talented undergraduates enrolling in doctoral programs in science
and engineering at US institutions. Graduate student support is provided to
high-quality doctoral granting departments in the form of traineeship
positions. The colleges and universities receiving awards are responsible for
the selection and retention of trainees and for administration of their grants.
The program emphasizes graduate educational activities that involve
multidisciplinary studies, close ties between education and research, and
partnership between academia, industry and government laboratories.
