I'll try to save my colleague up the road some time.  My original question
was -- How does your University demonstrate institutional commitment as
required in the IGERT guidelines?  And, given that the guidelines say that
"no cost sharing is required", do you consider the institutional commitment
voluntary committed cost share?

A more specific, but related question is: Does your institution ever
substitute (replace with) or supplement (add to) the IGERT stipend,
currently $30,000, with paid Graduate Research Assistant appointments?  This
last question may not pertain to more recent IGERT programs because these
require the IGERT Fellows to be full-time trainees.

The NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program is a
great fellowship program, the guidelines are a little ambiguous and may lend
themselves to some interpretation!

Lynn,

Would you be willing to share the original question from Randy?  For some
reason it did not come across my email through RESADM and we have an IGERT
coming up so that I am interested in questions and answers on this subject.

Thanks,
