This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award will support the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program in Urban Environmental Sustainability within the existing Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Engineering (ESPE) Program at the University of Southern California. This activity is a joint effort of eleven scientists and engineers from the Departments of Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Earth Sciences, Biological Sciences, Geography, Political Science, Economics, and Medicine in the School of Engineering, the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and the College of Medicine. This group of scientists and engineers has established research collaborations and their collective expertise will provide the intellectual underpinning for the training of a diverse cadre of some seventy graduate students and thirty undergraduates over the five-year tenure of the award. This IGERT activity provides an integrated four-part program consisting of a seminar on cities and urban systems; three team-taught courses (The Urban Environment: Research and Policy Issues; Environmental Technologies; and Negotiating Boundaries in Environmental Research); individual doctoral-level directed research supervised by a multidisciplinary faculty team; and a faculty-supervised, multidisciplinary collaborative project conducted for a client. Program diversity will be maximized through strategic recruiting of graduate and undergraduate trainees, and by diversification of the ESPE faculty. IGERT is a new, NSF-wide program intended to facilitate the establishment of innovative, research-based graduate programs that will train a diverse group of scientists and engineers to be well-prepared to take advantage of a broad spectrum of career options. IGERT provides doctoral institutions with an opportunity to develop new, well-focussed multidisciplinary graduate programs that transcend organizational boundaries and unite faculty from several departments or institutions to establish a highly interactive, collaborative environment for both training and research. In this first year of the program, support will be provided to seventeen institutions for new or nascent programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF.

这项综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖将支持在南加州大学现有环境科学，政策和工程（ESPE）计划内建立一个多学科的城市环境可持续性研究生培训计划。 这项活动是来自环境工程，土木工程，化学工程，地球科学，生物科学，地理学，政治学，经济学，经济学和医学学院，文书，艺术与科学学院以及医学院的11位科学家和工程师的共同努力。 这组科学家和工程师建立了研究合作，他们的集体专业知识将为培训大约70名研究生的多样化干部和三十本大学生的培训提供了知识分子的基础。 这种IGERT活动提供了一个集成的四部分计划，该计划包括有关城市和城市系统的研讨会；三个团队教学的课程（城市环境：研究和政策问题；环境技术；以及在环境研究中谈判界限）；由多学科教师团队监督的个人博士学位指导研究；以及为客户进行的，由教师提供的，多学科的合作项目。 通过战略招募研究生和本科学员，以及通过ESPE教师的多样化，将最大程度地提高计划多样性。 IGERT是一项新的，全新的计划，旨在促进建立创新的，基于研究的研究生计划，该计划将培训各种各样的科学家和工程师，以充分准备好利用广泛的职业选择。 IGERT为博士机构提供了一个机会，可以开发新的，充满活力的多学科研究生课程，这些课程超越了组织界限，并从多个部门或机构团结起来，以建立一个高度互动的协作环境来培训和研究。 在该计划的第一年中，将为十七个机构提供支持，以共同跨越了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域的新计划或新生计划。
