This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award will train a new generation of doctoral graduates to become future leaders in the field of disabilities through an integrated and interdisciplinary education-research-practice model. Intellectual Merit: The unique features of this IGERT include: 1) Development of person-centered solutions to address the complex needs of individuals with disabilities; 2) Innovative cross-disciplinary research and training at the convergence of computer science and engineering, bioengineering, mechanical engineering, science education, psychology, science and public policy, and industrial design; 3) Novel threads of learning such as entrepreneurship and global leadership; on-field activities, such as service learning; and use-inspired projects involving collaborations with caregivers, industry and government organizations; 4) The melding of a Ph.D. granting institution(ASU) and a teaching and research intensive institution (CSULB) to extend this training opportunity to a large number of students. Broader Impacts: This project will not only have a significant impact on the lives of individuals with sensory, cognitive, learning and developmental disabilities, but it will also enrich the lives of injured veterans, the elderly, and - in a broader sense - a very large portion of society. The students trained by this IGERT will be amply qualified to choose between a variety of career opportunities such as in academia, as leaders in the disability technology industry, as entrepreneurs or research scholars, or as directors and policy makers in federal or service agencies. The diversity of the faculty team will promote the active recruitment, retention and mentoring of students with disabilities, women and underrepresented/minority students across the STEM disciplines. 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.

这一综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖项将通过综合和跨学科的教育-研究-实践模式培养新一代博士毕业生，使他们成为未来残疾领域的领导者。智力价值：IGERT的独特功能包括：1)开发以人为中心的解决方案，以满足残疾人的复杂需求；2)在计算机科学和工程、生物工程、机械工程、科学教育、心理学、科学和公共政策以及工业设计的汇聚处进行创新的跨学科研究和培训；3)创新的学习思路，如创业和全球领导力；实地活动，如服务学习；以及涉及与照顾者、行业和政府组织合作的受使用启发的项目；4)将授予博士学位的机构(ASU)和教学和研究密集型机构(CSULB)合并，将这种培训机会扩大到大量学生。更广泛的影响：该项目不仅将对有感觉、认知、学习和发育障碍的个人的生活产生重大影响，而且还将丰富受伤退伍军人、老年人以及--从更广泛的意义上--社会的很大一部分人的生活。由该IGERT培训的学生将有足够的资格在各种职业机会中进行选择，例如在学术界，作为残疾技术行业的领导者，作为企业家或研究学者，或者作为联邦或服务机构的董事和政策制定者。教师队伍的多样性将促进在STEM学科中积极招聘、留住和指导残疾学生、妇女和代表性不足/少数族裔的学生。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对培养具有跨学科背景、所选学科的深厚知识以及满足未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能的美国博士科学家和工程师的挑战。该项目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，催化研究生教育的文化变革。
