UM/EPA Cooperative Training Partnership

University of Minnesota/EPA
Cooperative Training Partnership in Aquatic Toxicology and Ecosystem Research

The Cooperative Training Partnership in Aquatic Toxicology and Ecosystem Research was formed in March 2007 to train graduate students, postdoctoral investigators, and undergraduate researchers in aquatic toxicology and ecosystem research. Personnel from the USEPA Mid-Continent Ecology Division (EPA-MED) and the University of Minnesota train these individuals. All USEPA-MED scientists holding a Ph.D. degree can participate in the Cooperative Training Program. Faculty members at the University of Minnesota can participate by co-advising a graduate student, postdoctoral investigator, or undergraduate student in cooperation with USEPA-MED scientists.

The Cooperative Training Program staff members oversee the day-to-day management of the Cooperative Training Program, so they should be the first persons you contact to learn about this program and have your questions answered. EPA-MED scientists may also wish to contact the Program Director or EPA Project Officer for information.

Students seeking research opportunities in aquatic toxicology and ecosystem research should contact an appropriate program. Find more information at the Water Resources Science Graduate Program and the Integrated Biosciences Graduate Program websites.
