This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award provides Ph.D. students at the University of California at Santa Barbara with the skills to design more efficient and robust empirical networks based on their analyses of large data sets derived from existing networks. By training students to examine multiple types of networks, such as genetic, economic, and social networks, this program aims to advance the field of Network Science. Intellectual Merit: This traineeship program is a collaboration among seven graduate departments (Computer Science, Communication, Ecology, Evolution & Marine Biology, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Geography, Mechanical Engineering, and Sociology), which will enable trainees to learn computational methods to engineer, control, measure, and predict the dynamics of large networks. Through the program?s Network Science Laboratory, trainees will participate in team-based modules and obtain hands-on experience with software, empirical data sets, and interdisciplinary science. Additionally, trainees will participate in weekly seminars, summer internships, workshops, and an innovation program focused on problem solving and creative thinking.Broader Impacts: By providing students with interdisciplinary training in Network Science, this program will advance the emerging field of Network Science and will serve as a model for similar academic programs across the nation. Moreover, this program aims to recruit, retain, and mentor 70% women and underrepresented minority students from University of California at Santa Barbara undergraduates as well as students from four partner institutions: California State University at San Bernardino, California State University at Los Angeles, University of California at Merced, and University of New Mexico, all of which are Hispanic Serving Institutions. 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.

这项综合研究生教育和研究实习生（IGERT）奖提供了博士学位。加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的学生具有根据对现有网络得出的大型数据集的分析来设计更高效，更强大的经验网络的技能。通过培训学生检查多种类型的网络，例如遗传，经济和社交网络，该计划旨在推进网络科学领域。知识分子优点：该培训计划是七个研究生部门（计算机科学，传播，生态，进化与海洋生物学，电气和计算机工程，地理，机械工程和社会学）之间的合作，这将使受训者能够学习计算方法，以工程，控制，控制，测量和预测大型网络的动态。通过该计划的网络科学实验室，学员将参加基于团队的模块，并获得有关软件，经验数据集和跨学科科学的动手经验。此外，学员将参加每周一次的研讨会，暑期实习，讲习班以及着重于解决问题和创造性思维的创新计划。BROADER的影响：通过为学生提供网络科学领域的跨学科培训，该计划将推动网络科学领域的领域，并将作为整个国家类似学术计划的模型。此外，该计划旨在招募，保留和指导70％的女性和代表性的少数族裔学生，来自加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉大学本科生以及来自四个合作伙伴机构的学生：加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺州立大学的加利福尼亚州立大学，加利福尼亚州立大学的加利福尼亚州立大学，加利福尼亚大学，加利福尼亚大学，加利福尼亚大学，新墨西哥大学，洛杉矶分校，洛杉矶分校。 IGERT是一项旨在应对美国博士学位的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，所选学科的深刻知识以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在在肥沃的环境中建立新的模型，用于超越传统纪律界限的合作研究，并吸引学生理解研究的过程转化为以社会利益的创新过程。
