这一综合性研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖将通过将绿色化学原则融入研发过程，实现太阳能、生物燃料和能源储存系统的可持续创新。我们国家的可持续解决方案？S能源需求必须考虑新能源发电和储存对环境、健康和社会的影响。该奖项促进了下一代科学家和工程师在清洁能源技术设计所需的不同学科中的交叉培训。智力优势：开发同时将对环境和健康的影响降至最低的能源技术，将利用学生和教师在化学科学、工程、环境健康、公共政策和商业方面的综合专业知识。这些领域的研究人员将密切合作，以减少有毒物质的使用，并在新技术的整个生命周期内最大限度地提高环境和社会效益。广泛影响：该计划将为发展绿色能源未来所需的国家和全球优先事项、政策和投资提供信息，以最大限度地实现新技术的净环境效益。它的跨学科结构有可能创造一个全新的智力空间，由来自物理、社会和生命科学的研究人员共享。扩大参与范围的活动包括一套具体的计划，以增加招收代表性不足的学生并创造K-12教育机会。该计划旨在成为培养下一代科学家、工程师、毒物学家、政策制定者和商业领袖的典范，以塑造美国的清洁能源经济。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。该项目旨在建立新的研究生教育和培训模式，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造一个肥沃的环境，并让学生了解将研究转化为创新以造福社会的过程。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award will enable sustainable innovations in solar energy, biofuel, and energy storage systems by incorporating green chemistry principles into the research and development process. Sustainable solutions to our nation?s energy needs must consider the environmental, health and social impacts of new energy generation and storage. This award facilitates cross training of the next generation of scientists and engineers in the diverse disciplines necessary for the design of clean energy technologies. Intellectual Merit: The development of energy technologies that simultaneously minimize environmental and health impacts will draw on the combined expertise of students and faculty in chemical sciences, engineering, environmental health, public policy, and business. Researchers in these areas will interact closely to reduce the use of toxic materials and maximize the environmental and social benefits of new technologies throughout their lifecycle.Broader Impacts: This program will inform the national and global priorities, policies, and investments needed to develop a green energy future that maximizes the net environmental benefits of new technologies. Its interdisciplinary structure has the potential to create a wholly new intellectual space that is shared by investigators from the physical, social, and life sciences. Broadening participation activities include a suite of specific programs to increase the recruitment of underrepresented students and create K-12 education opportunities. This program aims to be a model for training the next generation of scientists, engineers, toxicologists, policy-makers, and business leaders to shape this country's clean energy economy. 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 establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to engage students in understanding the processes by which research is translated to innovations for societal benefit.
