This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award provides Ph.D. students at the University of Washington with multidisciplinary training in computer science, statistics, and domain sciences (oceanography, astronomy, chemistry, and genome sciences). Through this blended approach, trainees will learn how to manage, analyze, and visualize increasingly large amounts of data (known as ?Big Data?), thereby being prepared to address the challenges of cyberinfrastructure in the 21st century. Intellectual Merit: By developing a new Ph.D. program that involves partnerships with 11 leading companies and national labs in the field of Big Data, this program provides trainees with a collaborative approach to processing, scaling, and modeling massive and complex data sets for the scientific community. Trainees learn to create new statistical and machine learning techniques needed to manage large data sets. Additionally, this program builds an open-source system for scientists worldwide to access and analyze Big Data through a Cloud service. Broader Impacts: This IGERT traineeship program aims to create a new Big Data curriculum that will be delivered online and through University of Washington outreach initiatives. The program also prepares a new generation of scientists with the interdisciplinary tools to approach problems that will arise in the field of cyberinfrastructure. Moreover, this program promotes the development of a diverse STEM workforce by recruiting and training underrepresented groups, women, and students with disabilities, particularly through a partnership with the AccessComputing Alliance and the University of Washington DO-IT program.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.

这个综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖提供博士学位。华盛顿大学的学生，接受计算机科学、统计学和领域科学（海洋学、天文学、化学和基因组科学）的多学科培训。通过这种混合方法，学员将学习如何管理，分析和可视化越来越多的大量数据（称为？大数据？），从而作好准备，迎接世纪网络基础设施的挑战。智力优势：通过开发一个新的博士学位。该计划涉及与大数据领域的11家领先公司和国家实验室的合作伙伴关系，该计划为学员提供了一种协作方法来处理，扩展和建模科学界的大规模和复杂的数据集。学员学习创建管理大型数据集所需的新统计和机器学习技术。此外，该计划还为全球科学家构建了一个开源系统，以通过云服务访问和分析大数据。更广泛的影响：IGERT培训计划旨在创建一个新的大数据课程，该课程将通过华盛顿大学的外联活动在线提供。该计划还为新一代科学家提供跨学科工具，以解决网络基础设施领域将出现的问题。此外，该项目还通过招募和培训代表性不足的群体、妇女和残疾学生，特别是通过与美国计算机联盟和华盛顿大学的DO-IT项目合作，促进了多元化STEM劳动力的发展。IGERT是一个全国性的项目，旨在应对培养美国博士的挑战。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。该计划旨在为研究生教育和培训建立新的模式，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造肥沃的环境，并让学生了解研究转化为创新以造福社会的过程。
