This National Science Foundation award, under the Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program, provides a $450,000 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to support an Undergraduate Research on Ice Nucleation in Austria (IRES) program. The 3-year program offers a diverse cohort of approximately 15 undergraduate students the opportunity to develop skills in interdisciplinary scholarship and international research by conducting field and laboratory studies on ice nucleation processes at the interfaces of water, soil, vegetation, and the atmosphere. The program includes pre-departure activities, a 7-week research experience in Austria led by an international collaborator, and post-trip activities such as data presentation. This project aims to provide insights into student attitudes towards interdisciplinary research and how their participation affects their conceptions of collaboration and career paths.
