This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of an interdisciplinary graduate training program in Life Chips at the University of California, Irvine. The purpose of this program is to provide graduate students with enhanced interdisciplinary training in the skills required for conducting research at the interface of nano/micro-technology and life science. The over-arching research theme is to promote the union of nano/micro technology and life science through research, education and outreach. The nano/micro-world provides a natural common ground for research in traditionally distinct disciplines of engineering, biology, physics, chemistry and medicine. Efforts that combine engineering arts and life sciences will accelerate developments in both fields, bringing new innovations to solve the problems of industry and the human condition. Graduate training will commence with an intensive summer program designed to put new students directly in contact with research tools from both engineering and life science laboratories, and provide interaction with dual mentors to tackle cultural barriers for the students at the onset. Students will participate in research projects that combine nano/micro-technology and life science, and that have faculty investigators from life sciences and technology arts. Graduates of this program will be leaders in the next generation of Life Chip research. They will be poised to make seminal scientific discoveries, transform these discoveries into broadly available technologies, and apply these technologies to problems in the fields of life sciences, medicine and engineering. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, 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 innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持在生命芯片在加州大学欧文分校建立一个跨学科的研究生培训计划。该计划的目的是为研究生提供在纳米/微米技术和生命科学的接口进行研究所需的技能增强跨学科培训。我们的研究主题是通过研究、教育和推广促进纳米/微米技术与生命科学的结合。纳米/微观世界为工程、生物、物理、化学和医学等传统不同学科的研究提供了一个天然的共同基础。 将工程艺术和生命科学联合收割机结合起来的努力将加速这两个领域的发展，带来新的创新，以解决工业和人类条件的问题。研究生培训将从一个密集的暑期课程开始，该课程旨在让新生直接接触工程和生命科学实验室的研究工具，并与双导师进行互动，以解决学生在开始时的文化障碍。学生将参与联合收割机纳米/微技术和生命科学相结合的研究项目，并有来自生命科学和技术艺术的研究人员。该计划的毕业生将成为下一代生命芯片研究的领导者。他们将准备做出开创性的科学发现，将这些发现转化为广泛可用的技术，并将这些技术应用于生命科学、医学和工程领域的问题。 IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，在所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在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。
