Training Option (ITO) offered by the Department of Plant and Soil
Sciences,Ph.D. students may select laboratory rotations and carry
out their dissertation research in faculty labs throughout the ITO
network - at the University, including the Delaware Biotechnology
Institute and the College of Marine Studies (CMS), or in the research
labs at TIGR, and DuPont. All
laboratories are located within a two-hour radius of UD, allowing
frequent research exchange visits. Video
conferencing will continuously network ITO students and faculty
at all sites via interactive courses, seminars and scientific discussions.
Competitive stipends and accommodation supplements for TIGR and
CMS rotations will be provided.
