National Science Foundation IGERT Initiative The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program seeks to train PhD scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background and the technical, professional and personal skills needed to address the global questions of the future. Through the use of innovative curricula and internships, and by focusing on problem-centered training, these programs give their graduates the edge needed to become leaders in their chosen fields. IGERT National Recruitment Program The mission of the IGERT National Recruitment Program is to help students find the IGERT program that is right for them, and help IGERT faculty and PIs find the students that are right for their programs. University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) The University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), founded in 1909, is dedicated to education and research in field biology and related environmental sciences. University of Michigan Internationally renowned for research and education, the University of Michigan offers a wide variety of degree programs for undergraduate and graduate students. Students experience the "Michigan Difference" and our strong tradition of excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, and in the community. Outstanding and innovative academic offerings combine with a diverse campus community, the best faculty, and a central location in beautiful Ann Arbor to make it one of the nation's most desirable universities. Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research & Science (SOARS) SOARS, Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research in Science, is a graduate to undergraduate bridge program designed to broaden participation in the atmospheric and related sciences. The program is equal parts research internship, learning community, and mentoring program. SOARS offers comprehensive financial support for summer research and graduate school for up to four years. SOARS invites students from many disciplines, including chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, ecology, and the social sciences, to apply their expertise to understanding the Earth's atmosphere. In particular, SOARS seeks to involve more students from groups that are historically under-represented in the sciences, including Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, female, and first-generation college students. American Geophysical Union (AGU) For over three quarters of a century, AGU has supplied an organizational framework within which geophysicists have created the programs and products needed to advance their science. From its beginnings as the representative of American geophysicists in the international scientific community, AGU has evolved beyond parochial boundaries of nation and discipline into an active community of over 41,000 scientists from 130 countries. AGU now stands as a leader in the increasingly interdisciplinary global endeavor that encompasses the Earth and space sciences. AGU, a nonprofit scientific organization, was established in 1919 by the National Research Council and for more than 50 years operated as an unincorporated affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences. Project 1000 Project 1000 is a national program created to assist underrepresented students applying to graduate school. Students may apply to up to seven of the over 88 participating Project 1000 institutions by using one application.* Participation is FREE OF CHARGE to individual students and to the participating institutions! Ecological Society of America (ESA) The Ecological Society of America (ESA) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of scientists founded in 1915 to promote ecological science by improving communication among ecologists; raise the public's level of awareness of the importance of ecological science; increase the resources available for the conduct of ecological science; and ensure the appropriate use of ecological science in environmental decision making by enhancing communication between the ecological community and policy-makers. Alliances for Graduate Education in the Professoriate (AGEP) In late October 1998, the NSF Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program awarded eight universities nearly $2.5 million each to significantly increase the number of African American, Hispanic and Native American students receiving science, mathematics and engineering (SME) degrees. These alliances are comprised of a network of universities, which may be either statewide or regional. One institution serves as the lead institution, and all work cooperatively to increase the number of underrepresented minority Ph.D. graduates in SME. American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) The AISES mission is to substantially increase the representation of American Indian and Alaskan Natives in engineering, science and other related technology disciplines. Association of American Universities (AAU) The Association of American Universities (AAU) is an organization of research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education. It consists of sixty U.S. universities and two Canadian universities. AAU was founded in 1900 by a group of fourteen Ph.D.-granting universities in the U.S. to strengthen and standardize U.S. doctoral programs. Today, the primary purpose of the AAU is to provide a forum for the development and implementation of institutional and national policies promoting strong programs in academic research and scholarship and undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. Association for Support of Graduate Students (ASGS) ASGS provides the following services for graduate students: THESIS NEWS - a news and reference bulletin for graduate students writing their theses (i.e., master's level theses or doctoral dissertations). This section includes a complete listing of existing issues and their contents. DOC-TALK - this free, moderated e-mail discussion list is in process of being rebroadcast. PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS DIRECTORY - a nation-wide listing of the best format editors, statistical consultants, typists, etc. to help you finish your thesis. COMPUTER TEMPLATE DISKS FOR EDITORIAL STYLES - simple, basic help for APA, Turabian, etc., on a computer floppy disk. Proper formatting of your thesis made easier. ASGS STUDENT SURVEYS - results of ASGS surveys on major thesis problems. REVIEWS FOR DISSERTATION-RELATED BOOKS - Recent books available to students, reviewed by ASGS. Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) Over the last four decades, the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) has been the national voice for the graduate dean community. CGS is the only national organization in the United States that is dedicated solely to the advancement of graduate education and research. Our mission is to advance graduate education in order to ensure the vitality of intellectual discovery and to promote an environment that cultivates rigorous scholarship. GEM Consortium The GEM Fellowship programs are designed to offer opportunities for underrepresented minority students to obtain MS degrees in engineering and Ph.D. degrees in engineering and the natural and physical sciences through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance. Society for Advancement of Chicanos & Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) The mission of SACNAS (Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) is to encourage Chicano/Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate education and obtain the advanced degrees necessary for science research, leadership, and teaching careers at all levels. |
