The following university programs are listed alphabetically by university name. If you wish to list your program on our website, please contact CDMS Contacts.

REACH IGERT at the University of California, Davis

In the REACH IGERT, participants will develop a multidisciplinary understanding of the biological and social mechanisms needed to respond to rapid environmental change.

CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Doctoral Training Program at Carnegie Mellon University

The goal of this program is to serve as a catalyst to shape the field of usable privacy and security by developing and training a new generation of researchers in methodologies, principles, and approaches that can be applied across systems and applications, in contrast to one-off solutions.

Integrative Training in Ecology, Conservation & Pathogen Biology (ECPB)

Central to ECPB’s integrative focus is studying the reciprocal relationship between infectious diseases and ecosystems, and how human induced environmental change affects this dynamic.

The Dynamics of Brain-Body-Environment Systems in Behavior and Cognition at Indiana University - Bloomington

The goal of our program is to train doctoral students to think across traditional levels of analysis in the cognitive, behavioral and brain sciences.

Cognitive Science at the University of Kentucky

Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary field with the goal of understanding mind and intelligence.

Graduate Training in Risk Analysis for Introduced Species and Genotypes at the University of Minnesota

This program affords students an opportunity to develop the analytic-deliberative skills needed for risk analysis of biological introductions and to participate in research addressing real-world problems critical to advancing this field by addressing four focal areas of inquiry.

The Resilience and Adaptive Governance in Stressed Watersheds at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is looking for doctoral students interested expanding their education from traditional training in natural sciences, computer science, and social sciences to a broader, multi-disciplinary approach with a focus on stressed watersheds.

Center for Mind, Brain, and Computation at Stanford University

One of the main goals of the Center for Mind, Brain, and Computation is to train future scientists to investigate the emergent functions of neural systems in the brain using a combination of computational and experimental approaches and/or to investigate the computational properties of brain-like processes and mechanisms.

The Certificate on Humans and the Global Environment (CHANGE) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

The CHANGE program involves faculty members in departments ranging across atmospheric and oceanic sciences, ecology, environmental studies, veterinary medicine, and sociology.
