The UC Merced Interdisciplinary Computational Graduate Education (ICGE) program is an Innovations in Graduate Education National Research Training program funded by the National Science Foundation. The program aims to enhance student success and reduce graduate student attrition rates in the computational sciences, particularly for underrepresented minorities and first- generationstudents. UC Merced is part of a consortium of more than 40 other institutions and organizations from the public and private sector which were awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant worth nearly $10 million as part of a national effort to increase the number of Hispanic students who participate in computing.
