The U.S. faces increasing water management challenges in the 21st century. Traditional single-discipline graduate education fails to meet the needs of complex water and watershed-management issues in the 21st century. The goal of the Integrative Graduate Educational and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in watershed science and policy is to recruit, mentor, and train a diverse group of outstanding Ph.D. students to become the scientists, managers, and leaders who will tackle tomorrow?s interconnected scientific, environmental, social, economic, and technical challenges at watershed and river basin scales. The central approach will be to train each year?s IGERT class as a collaborative, interdisciplinary cadre. Each cadre will collaborate to construct a comprehensive assessment and management plan for one river basin. Features of the proposed IGERT program include: (1) team-based collaboration; (2) a from-the-ground-up emphasis on multidisciplinary watershed issues and solutions; (3) integration of underrepresented groups as students, mentors, and trainees; (4) model-based data synthesis and policy; (5) practical experience via extended internships and mentored teaching experiences; (6) exposure to transboundary rivers and international watershed-management issues; and (7) graduates with training in national and international best practice in integrated watershed science and management. The program?s primary goal is to cultivate a new generation of watershed science and management graduates trained in solving complex, real-world problems. In so doing, a new model for graduate education centered on team-based collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries will be developed. 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.

美国在21世纪面临着越来越多的水资源管理挑战。传统的单学科研究生教育已不能满足21世纪复杂的水资源和流域管理问题的需要。南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校流域科学与政策综合研究生教育与研究培训（IGERT）项目的目标是招募、指导和培训一批不同类型的优秀博士生，使他们成为科学家、管理者和领导者，以应对未来的挑战。在流域和流域尺度上相互关联的科学、环境、社会、经济和技术挑战。中心方法是每年培训一次。作为一个协作的，跨学科的干部。每个干部将协作构建一个流域的综合评估和管理计划。拟议的IGERT计划的特点包括：(1)基于团队的协作；(2)从根本上强调多学科流域问题及其解决方案；(3)整合未被充分代表的群体，如学生、导师和学员；(4)基于模型的数据综合与策略；(5)通过延长实习和指导教学经历获得的实践经验；(6)跨界河流和国际流域管理问题；(7)在综合流域科学与管理方面接受过国内和国际最佳实践培训的毕业生。这个项目吗?S的主要目标是培养新一代的分水岭科学与管理毕业生，培养他们解决复杂的现实问题的能力。在这样做的过程中，一个新的研究生教育模式将以团队协作为中心，跨越传统的学科界限。IGERT是一项nsf范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战，他们具有跨学科背景，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。
