	Research Achievements Please describe up to three interdisciplinary research achievements/discoveries/outcomes that demonstrate how your IGERT has been particularly effective in attaining the interdisciplinary research goals you set out to achieve during this reporting period. These might be important research findings extending knowledge in your interdisciplinary theme research area or research advances made possible through the interdisciplinary teamwork in your IGERT project. [The PI has an option to make each achievement available for use on the IGERT Resource Center Web site, viewable by the general public]			X
	Education Achievements Please describe up to three achievements/outcomes that illustrate exceptional added value to the trainees' educational experience during this reporting period. Please focus on overall programmatic achievements, rather than achievements of individual trainees. [The PI has an option to make each achievement available for use on the IGERT Resource Center Web site, viewable by the general public]			X
	Trainee Achievements Please describe up to three research or education achievements/outcomes, involving either a single trainee or a group of trainees made possible through the participation of trainees in your IGERT project during this reporting period.

	Barriers to Implementation Please identify and describe up to three key barriers you have encountered in the process of implementing your IGERT project during this reporting period. For each barrier identified, briefly describe how your project has responded. [The system collects the barriers and responses as separate data elements]		X
	Outreach Activities Please report any outreach activities involving your IGERT that occurred during this reporting period. Outreach activities include your IGERT project, IGERT faculty and/or IGERT Trainees being featured in the media (e.g., TV, radio, magazine articles) or talks, presentations, or workshops given to school groups, civic groups, non-scientifically based professional groups, members of the government, or the general public. Please mark the checkbox if you do not have any Outreach Activities to report. For each activity: Short Title Name of the media outlet or organization for which outreach was done Date of the activity Brief description of the activity, including the type of activity and the names of the IGERT individuals involved.			X
	NSF Highlights Each year, NSF program officers are asked to write "Highlights" (formerly known as "Nuggets") on the results of NSF research and education awards. These Highlights are used to help assess NSF's performance in attaining the strategic outcome goals outlined in the NSF 2006-2011 Strategic Plan and to share successes with various groups. Your Highlight will probably relate to one of the achievements reported in sections 1b, c or d, but in greater detail and with images. When writing your Highlight, please clearly describe how the interdisciplinary theme of your IGERT project made this work possible, as distinct from what might have been possible through only a single-discipline research or education grant. Also, please write the Highlight such that a general audience can grasp the importance, value and merit of the research, the educational outreach or whatever results you are highlighting. Starting with a statement of what the research team has achieved and why it is important and then going on to explain what problem is being solved, or obstacle is being overcome, or new discovery that was made is a great way to write a Highlight for maximum effectiveness. Reporting Highlights is related to requirements under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). Please respond only if you have something appropriate to share for this reporting period. Guidelines for Writing Highlights Write for a general audience. Common uses for highlights include the following: program monitoring by NSF staff; reporting to Congress on NSF goal attainment; demonstrating achievements in the NSF’s annual Budget Requests, Performance and Accountability Reports (PAR), and other documents; and providing information for the general public. Well-written, informative Highlights submitted here may serve several purposes and thereby eliminate duplicate writing efforts later. Include images. NSF highlights and images are used not only by the Advisory Committee for GRPA Performance Assessment, but also for illustration, in the NSF's annual Budget Requests, Performance and Accountability Reports (PAR), and other documents. Clear, colorful images (pictures, graphs, charts, etc.) greatly enhance the value of highlights. Provide sufficient information to describe the research and the results so that the IGERT Program Officers can determine whether or not a specific objective (and therefore, outcome goal) was met and its most valuable use. Start with a statement of what the research team has achieved, and then go on to explain why it solves a problem or overcomes an obstacle. Do not start with a lengthy explanation of the problem to be solved. Example: "Prof. Blivett and her team at the University of Eutaw have discovered/achieved/developed XYZ. This was hard/remarkable/useful/world-changing because … or this seminal development could lead to practical applications in …" Include the location and/or lead institution for the research and the names of all principal investigators. Include an explicit statement that NSF is supporting this work (this can usually be done very quickly in passing, e.g., "NSF-funded researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated …", or "Astronomers working at NSF's Gemini Observatory have discovered…") Spell out NSF program names. Be sure to spell out acronyms. For each highlight: Descriptive title for this Highlight Please indicate the primary and secondary NSF strategic goal(s) that best describe the highlight [For each NSF goal listed, the PI selects either primary or secondary] Describe the achievement/result that is the Highlight How does this activity address the primary and secondary NSF strategic goals that you marked above? For each Highlight Image: Descriptive title for this Highlight image Upload image file (bmp, gif, jpeg, pdf, png, or tiff only) Does NSF have permission to use this image? Yes/No Image credits (Required only if you answered "yes" to the previous question) Description of image (optional)			X
