Progam Information

This was a comprehensive training program that incorporated cross-disciplinary teamwork, courses in multiple disciplines and research projects that spanned at least two focus areas.

Applications are no longer being accepted, but we highly encourage prospective graduate students in any field of science, mathematics, engineering, economics, and social science to send us correspondence so that we may assist applicants in placement with potential faculty members and funding for bioenergy education and research.

Interviews were conducted at the end of the program for MASB IGERT fellows to describe their experiences in the program.
