9987618David Pine - University of California at Santa BarbaraIGERT: Advanced Optical MaterialsThis Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research on advanced optical materials. The program will train students in emerging areas of optical materials technology and engineering, bridging new materials development with device fabrication and testing. This effort will benefit from and augment existing strengths at UCSB in science and engineering education, which derive particularly from the highly collaborative inter-disciplinary research environment and internationally leading efforts in advanced optical materials. Graduate research training will focus on two areas of great scientific interest and commercial promise: (1) photonic optical circuits; and (2) nitride-based semiconductors. The IGERT program involves faculty and students from five departments and will be structured to promote interactions among multidisciplinary teams; the UCSB research groups involved have a strong and prolific track record for working together. A major plank of the program is a strong outreach effort to encourage women and under-represented minority students to pursue careers in science and engineering, with emphasis on their recruitment, mentoring, and training in advanced optical materials technologies. An important component for all IGERT students will be scientific exchange and cooperation with industrial and national laboratory partners, as well as the fostering of entrepreneurial perspectives and initiatives for high-technology small-business creation.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Education and Human Resources.

9987618David Pine -加州大学圣巴巴拉分校：先进光学材料这项综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持建立先进光学材料教育和研究的多学科研究生培训计划。该项目将在光学材料技术和工程的新兴领域培养学生，将新材料开发与设备制造和测试联系起来。这项工作将受益于并增强UCSB在科学和工程教育方面的现有优势，特别是来自高度协作的跨学科研究环境和国际领先的先进光学材料。研究生研究培训将集中在两个具有重大科学意义和商业前景的领域：(1)光子光学电路；(2)氮基半导体。IGERT计划涉及来自五个系的教师和学生，其结构将促进多学科团队之间的互动；UCSB参与的研究小组在合作方面有着强大而多产的记录。该计划的一个主要内容是大力鼓励女性和少数族裔学生从事科学和工程方面的职业，重点是在先进光学材料技术方面对她们进行招聘、指导和培训。所有IGERT学生的一个重要组成部分将是与工业和国家实验室伙伴进行科学交流和合作，以及培养创业观点和创建高科技小企业的倡议。IGERT是一项nsf范围内的计划，旨在满足培养具有多学科背景和未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能的博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目旨在通过建立新的、创新的研究生教育和培训模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，促进研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第三年，奖项将颁发给19个机构，这些机构的项目涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。这一特殊奖项的智力焦点在于工程、数学和物理科学以及教育和人力资源部门。
