About the Resource Center (IGERT.org)

The IGERT Resource Center (IGERT.org) provides comprehensive information about IGERT and each of its actively funded projects. The Resource Center provides an e-community for current IGERT students and faculty to share resources, research, presentations, challenges and best practices. The Center provides a vehicle for national dissemination of program models, materials and accomplishments. In addition it will help prospective students find IGERT opportunities that match their interests, and to inform industry partners and the public at large of the achievements of this flagship interdisciplinary Ph.D. program. The Resource Center is created and facilitated by TERC, Inc. This site is funded by the National Science Foundation. Opinions expressed are those of the contributors and not necessarily those of the Foundation.

The site has been created and is facilitated by the IGERT.org staff. The members of the Student, Program Coordinator, Faculty, and Technical Advisory Boards have provided and will continue to provide valuable ideas, suggestions, and feedback in the development of IGERT.org.

Logged in members looking for FAQs about how to use the site and to provide feedback should visit the IGERT.org Feedback Group.
