This three-year standard grant to Dennis Weidenaar and Harry Morrison at Purdue University provides support for the development, assessment, and dissemination of a three-week applied management principles training program for some fifty doctoral students drawn broadly from various science and engineering disciplines at that institution. The intent of this model program is to provide business issues training to candidates before they enter the workforce rather than doing so in a post-assignment, continuing education basis that is widespread current practice in industry. This proactive approach to business issues training enables new doctoral graduates to enter industrial positions better prepared for initial assignments. The course, which is built upon Purdue's successful one-week proof-of-concept prototype course that was offered in 1997, will be fully assessed at the end of the three year period and the course materials made available to the community at large to encourage replication on a national scale. This activity is supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate and by the Sloan Foundation.

普渡大学的丹尼斯·魏德纳尔和哈里·莫里森获得了为期三年的标准资助，用于开发、评估和传播一个为期三周的应用管理原则培训项目，培训对象是该大学大约50名来自不同科学和工程学科的博士生。 该模式计划的目的是在候选人进入劳动力市场之前为他们提供商业问题培训，而不是在分配后继续教育的基础上这样做，这是目前行业中普遍存在的做法。 这种积极主动的商业问题培训方法使新的博士毕业生能够更好地为最初的任务做好准备。 该课程是建立在普渡大学1997年成功举办的为期一周的概念验证原型课程的基础上的，将在三年期结束时进行全面评估，并向广大社区提供课程材料，以鼓励在全国范围内推广。 这项活动得到了数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室和斯隆基金会的支持。
