As part of its effort to stimulate research by graduate students in the second term of the doctoral program, the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Program in Green Natural Sciences (IGER) promotes carrying out original research meant to nurture young researchers taking their first steps as scholars active in the world. We provide research funds for original research recognized as clearly entailing an excellent graduate student “planning and carrying out research independently,” even though it is under faculty guidance.
