This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports a new multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research in Ecosystem Restoration through Interdisciplinary Exchange (ERIE) at the University at Buffalo, in cooperation with partner institutions Buffalo State College and Niagara University. The program will provide doctoral students with interdisciplinary training to advance the theoretical foundations of ecosystem restoration and adapt concepts to the particulars of complex regional ecosystems, with an emphasis on the Great Lakes and surrounding watersheds. Research will emphasize integrative projects in ecosystem assessment, modeling, and management, referenced to real world applications. Special attention will be given to important environmental cultural issues of surrounding indigenous communities through course modules, research led by Native American scholars, and interactions with Native partners. ERIE will transform the theory and practice of ecosystem restoration by infusing the workforce with professionals trained to integrate and exchange science, engineering, policy and cultural considerations, and by demonstrating new approaches to interdisciplinary education. Training will emphasize both professional development and sense of place-based science education fueled by knowledge gained through the local restoration projects. Specific activities include field-oriented short courses taught by experienced researchers and national experts, leadership workshops on interdisciplinary team dynamics, professional internships with external partners, instruction and mentoring in case study methods, and the development and dissemination of new K-16 materials. Student recruitment will build on existing minority fellowship programs and previously successful recruitment of Native American doctoral students, in conjunction with new activities targeting students from local and regional Native American communities. 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）奖支持教育和研究在生态系统恢复通过跨学科交流（伊利）在大学在布法罗一个新的多学科研究生培训计划，在合作伙伴机构布法罗州立学院和尼亚加拉大学。 该计划将为博士生提供跨学科培训，以推进生态系统恢复的理论基础，并将概念适应复杂区域生态系统的细节，重点是五大湖和周边流域。 研究将强调生态系统评估，建模和管理的综合项目，参考真实的世界的应用。 将通过课程模块，由美洲土著学者领导的研究以及与土著伙伴的互动，特别关注周围土著社区的重要环境文化问题。 伊利将通过为劳动力注入经过培训的专业人员来整合和交流科学，工程，政策和文化因素，并通过展示跨学科教育的新方法来改变生态系统恢复的理论和实践。 培训将强调专业发展和基于地方的科学教育意识，这些教育由通过当地恢复项目获得的知识推动。 具体活动包括由经验丰富的研究人员和国家专家讲授的面向实地的短期课程、关于跨学科团队动态的领导力讲习班、与外部伙伴的专业实习、案例研究方法的指导和辅导以及新的K-16材料的编写和传播。 学生招聘将建立在现有的少数民族奖学金计划和以前成功的美国土著博士生招聘，结合新的活动，针对学生从当地和区域美洲土著社区。 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。
