The Universities of Washington and Wisconsin-Madison propose a collaborative, integrated graduate training program in the study of freshwater ecosystems. The program will emphasize important issues identified by an NSF-sponsored workshop (The Freshwater Imperative). Revelations from this workshop point out that freshwater ecology has become fragmented into separated programs, e.g., lakes, wetlands, groundwater, or streams. This has reduced synthetic skills needed to deal with the complex issues that face freshwater science. Our goal is to created scientists who can work across environmental gradients and intellectual barriers between studies in lakes and those in streams or rivers. Those now occupy the ends of the epistemological gradient. We combined resources of two excellent programs. That emphasizing lakes is based in the Center for Limnology, Univ. Wisconsin, while that for streams is based in Center for Streamside Studies, Univ. Washington. Each student will train at each University; half will receive their degree from each. Each University is contributing Advanced Opportunity Fellowships and other elements to increase the number of trainees from 5 to 7. Trainees will join active research communities of faculty, post doctoral researchers and graduate students. Both centers are fully operational with a continuing history of research support from state, national and private sources. Facilities and infrastructure are fully developed in support of student research that will integrate stream and lake ecology.

华盛顿大学和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校提出了一个合作，综合研究生培训计划，在淡水生态系统的研究。 该计划将强调由NSF主办的研讨会（淡水势在必行）确定的重要问题。 本次研讨会的启示指出，淡水生态已被分割成独立的方案，例如，湖泊、湿地、地下水或溪流。 这减少了处理淡水科学所面临的复杂问题所需的综合技能。 我们的目标是创造出能够跨越环境梯度和湖泊研究与溪流或河流研究之间的智力障碍的科学家。 这些现在占据了认识论梯度的两端。 我们整合了两个优秀项目的资源。 侧重湖泊的是威斯康星州的湖沼学中心，侧重溪流的是华盛顿大学的河滨研究中心。 每个学生将在每所大学接受培训;一半将从每所大学获得学位。 每个大学都提供高级机会研究金和其他要素，将受训人数从5人增加到7人。 学员将加入教师，博士后研究人员和研究生的积极研究社区。 这两个中心都在全面运作，并继续得到州、国家和私人来源的研究支持。 设施和基础设施得到充分发展，以支持学生的研究，将整合河流和湖泊生态。
