The principal objective of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Traineeship Program is to increase the numbers of talented U.S. undergraduates enrolling in doctoral programs in critical and emerging areas of science and engineering. Proposals were solicited from institutions whose existing facilities and staff could accommodate additional graduate students in Ph.D. programs of high quality. The program is also intended to contribute to strengthening the Nation's human resource base across all geographic sectors and among all under-represented groups. Graduate Research Traineeship awards are packages of student support. The colleges and universities that receive the awards are responsible for the selection of trainees, retention of trainees, and administration of traineeships. Stanford University plans to increase the number of U.S. Ph.D. statisticians through a "Tandem Traineeship" program. The objective of the program will be to produce students with the skills and desire to (a) conduct cross-disciplinary research in science and engineering and (b) foster undergraduate education in the mathematical sciences, particularly probability and statistics, from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. In order to create a structure in which the cross-disciplinary idea is nurtured, students will be encouraged to follow their interests and those of their chosen faculty members in at least two departments. In order to attract a broad base of qualified U.S. applicants, particularly women, minorities and students with disabilities, current mentoring and recruitment efforts will be expanded.

美国国家科学基金会研究生研究培训计划的主要目标是增加有才华的美国本科生在关键和新兴科学和工程领域攻读博士课程的人数。向现有设施和人员可以容纳高质量博士课程的研究生的机构征求建议。该计划还旨在加强国家在所有地理部门和所有代表性不足群体中的人力资源基础。研究生研究实习奖是学生支持的一揽子计划。受奖院校负责学员的选拔、留用和实习管理。斯坦福大学计划通过“串联培训”计划增加美国统计博士的数量。该计划的目标是培养具备以下技能和愿望的学生：(a)在科学和工程领域进行跨学科研究；(b)从广泛的跨学科角度培养数学科学，特别是概率和统计的本科教育。为了创造一个培养跨学科思想的结构，学生将被鼓励在至少两个系中遵循他们的兴趣和他们选择的教员的兴趣。为了吸引更多合格的美国申请者，特别是女性、少数族裔和残疾学生，将扩大目前的指导和招聘工作。
