About the Resource Center (IGERT.org)

IGERT.org staff at TERC in Cambridge, MA, with funding from NSF, served the IGERT community by providing a virtual resource center and a collegial network from 2008 - 2015. The Resource Center facilitated the sharing of resources, research, presentations, best practices, career opportunities, and conferences posted by trainees, faculty, alumni and partners. IGERT.org also provided national and international dissemination of varied interdisciplinary graduate education programs funded by NSF’s IGERT program. The three poster and video competitions held in 2011- 2013 were extraordinarily successful in sharing the innovative, cutting edge, research being conducted by trainees in each of these programs with a very broad public audience. Archives of each of these competitions are still available using the links provided in the left navigation bar here on IGERT.org.

As of October 1, 2015, funding for IGERT.org ended. This site is now archived and is no longer actively maintained. Membership has been removed and content that was dependent on logging in (e.g. The Job and Conference Boards, Groups, and Webinars) is no longer accessible.

We thank our former members as well as all of those who have served on advisory panels, have participated in one of the video and poster competitions, have posted to the site, or have been interested readers of its content for their participation and valuable contributions.

The Resource Center was created and facilitated by TERC, Inc. This site was funded by the National Science Foundation. Opinions expressed are those of the contributors and not necessarily those of the Foundation.
