programs were well received, and could serve as model to strengthen our graduate degree programs. Both programs were characterized by their interdisciplinary training in state-of-the-art research in the transitions from genomes to phenomes and landscapes (one of NSF´s 10 Big Ideas) and included a strong entrepreneurship component. For both programs, modules were developed to train the graduate students in interdisciplinary research, to prepare the students for academic, industrial, and government careers, and to develop their scientific communication skills. The training for the students was divided into the following modules: bioinformatics and biological modeling, communicating STEM, scientific ethics and responsible conduct of research, advanced writing, entrepreneurship and the development of business plans, industrial training opportunities, project management and mentoring program, multi-institutional and international training activities.

(3) Co-PI and research mentor of two USDA funded Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates (REEU) programs;

In the pre-program evaluations, the responses of students were evaluated for prior research experiences, for the confidence of students in pursuing research projects, or in important scientific skills, e.g. experimental design, data analysis). In the post-program evaluations, the gains in these scientific skill sets were evaluated;

(6) Participation in the Partnerships for Undergraduate Life Sciences Education (PULSE), Midwest and Great Plains Regional Network, 3rd conference, August 2016.
