This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) project is a multidisciplinary graduate training program in resilience and adaptive governance in stressed watersheds at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Resolving complex water issues requires the best and clearest scientific information from interdisciplinary and integrative science. This program will train the next generation of natural resource scientists, managers, and policymakers by increasing scientific understanding of how resilience - the ability to withstand multiple stresses without losing critical structure and function - is generated in complex systems of people and nature. It will provide cross-disciplinary academic and experiential training for a diverse group of doctoral graduate students in natural, social and computational sciences, and provide opportunities for minority students. Broader impacts include training in the complex interactions of ecological and societal systems affecting water management and in the use of sophisticated mathematical and computational tools for decision support. IGERT doctoral students will receive academic training in resilience and adaptive management and will participate in externships and workshops that expose them to real-world applications that transfer knowledge in a way that is useful to policymakers. Local, state and federal agencies will help shape curricula in natural science, policy and law by developing student research externships. Students will benefit from an international experience comparing compromised watersheds in the Great Plains of the United States to similarly challenged watersheds in Europe. This program will assist in fundamentally changing academic culture by coalescing students and faculty from natural science, social science, computational science and law around a common goal: the responsible management of over-appropriated watersheds. 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）项目是内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的一个多学科研究生培训计划，旨在提高流域的适应能力和适应性治理。 解决复杂的水问题需要来自跨学科和综合科学的最佳和最清晰的科学信息。该计划将通过增加对弹性的科学理解来培养下一代自然资源科学家，管理人员和政策制定者-承受多重压力而不失去关键结构和功能的能力-在人与自然的复杂系统中产生。 它将为自然科学、社会科学和计算科学领域的各类博士研究生提供跨学科学术和经验培训，并为少数民族学生提供机会。 更广泛的影响包括在影响水管理的生态和社会系统的复杂相互作用方面以及在使用复杂的数学和计算工具支持决策方面进行培训。 IGERT博士生将接受复原力和适应性管理方面的学术培训，并将参加实习和研讨会，使他们接触到以对政策制定者有用的方式转移知识的现实应用。 地方、州和联邦机构将通过发展学生研究实习来帮助塑造自然科学、政策和法律方面的课程。学生将受益于国际经验，比较美国大平原的受影响流域与欧洲面临类似挑战的流域。 该计划将通过将自然科学，社会科学，计算科学和法律的学生和教师围绕一个共同的目标从根本上改变学术文化：过度占用流域的负责任管理。 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。
