Program Administration

The administrative structure of the Water Diplomacy program is designed to facilitate implementation of the program elements, develop PhD requirements, encourage mutually productive departmental and interdisciplinary affiliations, and establish a fair allocation of resources. The program will be managed by the IGERT Program Committee (IPC), composed of the five principal investigators. The committee is responsible for all decisions affecting the structure or implementation of the program, including accepting students into the IGERT program, approval of common doctoral candidacy qualifying procedures, approval of a student’s individual study plan and PhD Committee, and selection of interdisciplinary topics for collaborative research. Dr. Islam will serve as the Program Director.
