We are extremely proud to share the news that the National Science Foundation recently awarded a Research Traineeship grant focused on Convergence at the Interfaces of Policy, Data Science, Environmental Science and Engineering for Combating Antimicrobial Resistance (CIP-CAR NRT), within which the STEP program is a core curricular component. This $3 million grant “brings together PhD students across disciplines to help develop science-based policy to combat the spread of antimicrobial resistance as a pressing societal challenge”. Trainees are expected to complete the STEP graduate certificate as part of their studies, in addition to various other inter- and transdisciplinary projects and program components.
