The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. Students in the training program participate in a computational basecamp, custom course modules on intelligent adaptive systems, communication skills development workshops, and industry networking opportunities.
