This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports the development of a multidisciplinary graduate training program in Brain, Mind, and Society. Its purpose is to provide students with the analytical foundations and the experimental skills needed to pursue scientific careers at the intersection of neuroscience and the social sciences, who are capable of integrating neural, psychological, and economic approaches to attack basic and applied problems related to valuation, human decision making, and social exchange. Trainees will take a rigorously designed, largely team-taught course sequence, spanning from nervous system organization and function to mathematical models of decision making and social exchange. This coursework will be complemented by equal balance in cross-disciplinary laboratory research, thereby tightly integrating research training with scholarship to create true intellectual hybrids across both disciplines. The Brain, Mind, and Society program emphasizes the inclusion of highly qualified underrepresented students through a four-tiered outreach program, Science Matters, involving a team-based mentorship program bringing together students from the this program, underrepresented undergraduate students at Cal State University, Los Angeles and underrepresented high school students in Los Angeles' Belmont Schools. The resulting diversity of the program's collaborative teams will reflect the program's broader impact in five key social application areas, which may ultimately provide a new scientifically-enriched discourse to help us understand critical social problems, in economic, therapeutic, educational, philosophical, and business and political applications. 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）奖支持大脑，心灵和社会的多学科研究生培训计划的发展。它的目的是为学生提供在神经科学和社会科学的交叉点追求科学事业所需的分析基础和实验技能，他们能够整合神经，心理和经济方法来攻击与估值，人类决策和社会交换相关的基本和应用问题。 学员将参加一个严格设计的，主要是团队授课的课程序列，从神经系统的组织和功能，决策和社会交流的数学模型。这门课程将通过跨学科实验室研究的平等平衡来补充，从而将研究培训与奖学金紧密结合，以创造跨两个学科的真正智力混合体。大脑，思想和社会计划强调通过四层外展计划，科学问题，包括一个基于团队的导师计划，汇集了来自该计划的学生，在加州州立大学，洛杉矶和高中学生代表性不足的本科生代表性不足的学生在洛杉矶的贝尔蒙特学校。该计划的协作团队的多样性将反映该计划在五个关键社会应用领域的更广泛影响，这可能最终提供一个新的科学丰富的话语，以帮助我们了解关键的社会问题，在经济，治疗，教育，哲学，商业和政治应用。 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。
