Innovative traineeships prepare the next generation of STEM leaders in AI, quantum, biotech and more
The U.S. National Science Foundation announced $45 million to fund 15 new awards through the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program, with projects focusing on artificial intelligence, quantum, biotechnology and translational science.
These represent NRT's most significant annual investment in institutions located in NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdictions and extend the program's reach to science, technology, engineering and math graduate students in 47 states, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including two new states, Idaho and North Dakota.
