The N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative (N.C. PSI) promotes awareness of various internal and external funding opportunities for students. Our goal is to provide current students with the support they need to gain practical experience in their field and strengthen their interdisciplinary skill set. These awards provide funding and life-changing opportunities across a range of disciplines and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n

In addition to N.C. PSI’s first Graduate Student Fellowship in translational sciences, we are working to provide further support for our N.C. PSI students. For example, the N.C. PSI is partnering with NC A&T University on a 5-year, $18.1 million award from the USDA – System Approach to Promote Learning and Innovation for the Next GenerationS (SAPLINGS), which will provide cross-training awards for undergraduate and graduate students in ag-driven data sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-thinking How We Teach Graduate Students<\/h3>\n \n\n \t \t

To address societal challenges, scientific research must be convergent: driven by compelling problems and deeply integrating scientific disciplines. AgBioFEWS students gain this capacity by working collaboratively to research how agricultural biotechnology changes agricultural landscapes and rural communities, integrating tools and cultures from the natural and social sciences.<\/p>\n\t \t \n
