Transform Society Through Design: NSF Holistic Design Research Traineeship Applications Now Open


March 07, 2025

We would like to share an exciting opportunity for graduate students passionate about making a meaningful impact through innovative design. The National Science Foundation's National Research Traineeship (NRT) program at UTEP is seeking forward-thinking graduate students (both at the master's and doctoral level) interested in the holistic design of 5Ps—Products, Places, Processes, Programs, and Policies.
This transformative opportunity offers:
  • A five-course certificate in holistic design
  • Research opportunities with faculty mentors across disciplines
  • Stipend and tuition support for eligible trainees (US Citizens/Permanent Residents)
  • Community engagement addressing pressing societal challenges
  • Tailored professional development based on your career goals
We invite you to join a community of scholars working at the intersection of engineering, education, sciences, health sciences, and liberal arts to create accessible, effective solutions for everyone. Applications are now open to graduate students in good standing from any discipline.
