This grant by NSF aims to foster innovative models for STEM graduate training, focusing on the Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (DESE) theme initially. Proposals should align with national research priorities and offer novel approaches to training graduate students. Emphasis is placed on cultivating competencies for research and research-related careers, with collaborations encouraged for enhanced impact. Projects are expected to enhance STEM graduate education, with a focus on sustainability and scalability of training elements post-award. Applications should outline institutional support for continued programmatic capacity development.

| Description: | The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program is designed to encourage the development of bold, new, potentially transformative, and scalable models for STEM graduate training that ensure that graduate students develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The NRT program initially has one priority research theme – Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (DESE); in addition, proposals are encouraged on any other crosscutting, interdisciplinary theme. In either case, proposals should identify the alignment of project research themes with national research priorities and the need for innovative approaches to train graduate students in those areas. NRT projects should develop evidence-based, sustainable approaches and practices that substantially improve STEM graduate education for NRT trainees and for STEM graduate students broadly at an institution. NRT emphasizes the development of competencies for both research and research-related careers. Strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, museums, and academic partners that enhance research quality and impacts and that facilitate development of technical and transferrable professional skills are encouraged. Creation of sustainable programmatic capacity at institutions is an expected outcome. Proposals accordingly are expected to describe how institutions will support the continuation and institutional-level scaling of effective training elements after award closure. |
