This National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) Track 2 award to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation will examine how combining industry support and internships with traditional graduate student funding mechanisms, such as assistantships and fellowships, can improve the educational experience for STEM Ph.D. students. The $300,000 project, running from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2030, aims to understand how industry engagement and other structures influence student motivation, collaboration, mentorship, and long-term career outcomes. The mixed-methods study will collect quantitative data through student, faculty, and industry partner surveys, as well as qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews and institutional records. The findings will provide a blueprint for implementing scalable practices that reshape how universities support graduate students and foster stronger connections between academia and the workforce.
