Brief Description:

The Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) opportunity encourages the development and implementation of bold, new and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. Proposals should explore ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers.

Harvard University, as one institution, is limited to submitting two (2) proposals. This includes participation as the lead organization, collaborator, or sub-awardee on a collaborative proposal.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is facilitating an internal application process in order to select proposals for nomination.

Description:

The IGE program does not focus on comprehensive training of graduate students, or foundational research examining how graduate students learn, but rather will promote targeted test-bed efforts that are informed by evidence, including findings from research on graduate education.
