Non Technical Summary
Our proposed Graduate Program in Agricultural Sustainability and Biosecurity (GPASB) integrates the strengths of the University of South Florida Department of Integrative Biology and School of Global Sustainability with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Our program will address the targeted expertise shortage area in "Integrative Biosciences for Sustainable Food and Agricultural Systems" and the academic discipline of "Interdisciplinary Sustainable Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences ". We seek the support for two PhD and two MS students. The participating institutions have provided tuition waivers for these students and matching funds for two additional graduate students, so that we can have six Fellows total. Fellows will experience a curriculum that entails coursework, lab rotations, research projects, teaching, internships, extension and outreach, and international travel. The expected outputs from this program will be graduates with the following core competencies: knowledge of major concepts related to agricultural sustainability and biosecurity; attainment of sophisticated quantitative skills and higher-order research skills; evidence of interdisciplinary collaborations and leadership, communication, and problem solving skills; and ability to work in a team. The expected outcome and measureable target is six diverse students placed in agriculturally-related jobs. This will meet our goal of addressing the national need for a more competitive, highly-trained, multicultural agricultural workforce that is eminently prepared for interdisciplinary teaching, research, and professional practice in an ever-changing, integrated global environment. The GPASB not only crosses disciplinary boundaries and departments, it crosses Universities to ensure that its Fellows receive the best training that is logistically possible.

Goals / Objectives
Our goal is to meet the national need for graduates that are eminently prepared for interdisciplinary teaching, research, and professional practice in agricultural sustainability and biosecurity in an ever-changing integrated global environment. Furthermore, we will take steps to ensure that these graduates are racially and ethnically diverse. The Guiding Principles and Specific Objectives of the GPASB are to: 1) Recruit six top-notch students, at least a third of which are from underrepresented groups, to meet the challenges of agricultural sustainability and biosecurity in the 21st century. 2) Implement an innovative, interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and interinstitutional research and academic program that offers significant elective flexibility to meet the individual career needs of students. 3) Provide students with the analytical, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills necessary to be successful in a globally-interconnected, technologically-advanced, and rapidly diversifying and changing work environment. 4) Provide a scholarly atmosphere in which students address interdisciplinary questions and work in teams toward the development of sustainable and safe agroecosystem practices. 5) Provide students with internship, research, teaching, and outreach opportunities that will enhance their leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills. 6) Provide an increased number of workforce-ready and globally-competitive graduates in the food and agricultural sciences. The expected outputs from this program will be students graduated with the identified core competencies listed above and the expected outcomes are 1) a more competitive, highly-trained, diverse agricultural workforce, 2) higher productivity with sustainable environmental practices, and 3) safer food and agricultural supply.
Project Methods
Fellows will experience a curriculum that entails coursework, lab rotations, research projects, teaching, internships, extension and outreach, and international travel. Each Fellow will be evaluated based on their successful attainment of core competencies in integrated and sustainable agriculturally-related resource management including land, water, animal, and human resources, quantitative methods, interdisciplinary collaborations, leadership, social skills, and written and verbal communication. Performance metrics will include: 1) commitment to a career related to agricultural sustainability and biosecurity; 2) knowledge of major concepts/issues related to agricultural sustainability and biosecurity; 3) attainment of sophisticated quantitative skills; 4) research quality, especially ability to apply higher-order research skills; 5) ability to communicate and defend a position with scientific information and evidence; 6) evidence of interdisciplinary collaborations and ability to work in a team. We intend to collect post-graduate information on the effectiveness of the NNF program in advancing the Fellows' capacity to work effectively in their chosen careers, and their achievements relative to our program learning outcomes and core competencies. In cooperation with our Alumni Offices, we propose to develop and implement a web-based system for tracking the professional positions of graduates of the GPASB to determine their successful employment in a agriculturally-related field.
