EPSCOR Industry Graduate Research Traineeship

奥多姆工业毕业生研究培训计划（IGRT）旨在提高从事与工业利益直接相关的研究的科学和工程领域高级学位毕业生的数量和质量。该计划的主要目标是促进学术研究人员与工业界同行之间的联系，并向学生介绍工业研究与开发（R&amp；D）作为一种可行的职业选择。这些目标将通过要求研究生学员在工业研发实验室现场进行至少50%的论文研究来实现。与私营部门建立密切联系的研究教员将担任选定学员的主任。描述了学员的招募、选择、维持和评估方法。国家科学基金会要求每五年每年资助五名受训人员。该项目将由目前在南卡罗来纳州EPSCoR委员会任职的行政人员指导。

GER-9553409 Odom An Industry Graduate Research Traineeship Program (IGRT) is described to increase the number and quality of advanced degree graduates in science and engineering who are performing research directly related to industrial interests. The major objectives of this program are to foster increased linkages between academic researchers and their counterparts in industry, and to introduce students to industrial research and development (R&D) as a viable career alternative. These objectives will be accomplished by requiring that the graduate trainees perform at least 50% of their dissertation research on-site in an industrial R&D laboratory. Research faculty who have developed close ties to the private sector will serve as directors of the chosen trainees. The means by which the trainees are recruited, selected, maintained, and evaluated are described. Support for five trainees per year for each of five years is requested from the NSF. The project will be directed by administrative personnel currently serving on the South Carolina State EPSCoR Committee.
