This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports the further development of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research in Nanostructured Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Intellectual Merit: The purpose of this program is to provide doctoral students with enhanced multidisciplinary training in the skills required for conducting research in energy science, technology and policy. This IGERT training aims to address all the stages of needed technological developments, starting from materials, to the fabrication of devices, to the integration of devices into systems, and how energy policy and economics may impact each of these stages, thus affecting the advancement and adoption of new energy solutions. Broader Impacts: The program will advance knowledge of the economics of energy choices and policy development with sophisticated technical awareness of alternative technologies. Professors and students from neighboring HBCUs will be involved in the IGERT?s research and educational activities. A required component of the program is a set of four courses; first is an introductory seminar course, followed by a set of courses designed to provide participants with cross-disciplinary training in policy and technology. Next will be a set of studio courses designed to investigate and solve problems in the area of energy and energy policy by teams of students. International collaborations, industrial and national laboratory internships, and personal development seminars will help to create ethical, responsible and capable leaders of the future. 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 catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这项综合研究生教育和研究实习生（IGERT）奖支持乔治亚技术学院的纳米结构材料的多学科研究生培训计划的纳米结构材料培训计划。知识分子的优点：该计划的目的是为博士学生提供在进行能源科学，技术和政策研究所需的技能方面增强的多学科培训。这种IGERT培训旨在解决所需的技术发展的所有阶段，从材料到设备的制造，再到设备进入系统，以及能源政策和经济学如何影响这些阶段，从而影响新能源解决方案的发展和采用。更广泛的影响：该计划将通过对替代技术的精致技术意识来提高能源选择和政策制定的经济学知识。来自邻近HBCU的教授和学生将参与Igert的研究和教育活动。该程序的必需组成部分是一组四门课程；首先是一门入门研讨会课程，其次是一组课程，旨在为参与者提供跨学科的政策和技术培训。 接下来，将是一套工作室课程，旨在调查和解决学生团队在能源和能源政策领域的问题。国际合作，工业和国家实验室实习以及个人发展研讨会将有助于建立道德，负责任和有能力的未来领导者。 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。该计划旨在通过在肥沃的环境中建立创新的研究生教育和培训的新模型来促进研究生教育的文化变革，以超越传统学科界限的合作研究。
