2015 - ACS Directory of Graduate Research (DGRweb) is not available
The ACS Committee on Professional Training is pleased to announce release of the 2015 edition of the ACS Directory of Graduate Research (DGRweb).
DGRweb is a free searchable, online database that provides the most comprehensive compilation of information on graduate study in the chemical sciences at universities in North America. DGRweb 2015 is available at www.acs.org/dgrweb.
The Directory provides graduate-school-bound students in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields with information that will facilitate the selection of a graduate program appropriate to the student’s particular interests and talents. The Committee believes that the 2015 edition of the DGRweb will continue to be a valuable source of information for facilitating research collaborations in the chemical sciences and enabling networking across chemical subdisciplines. We hope that you will inform your undergraduates who are interested in pursuing graduate study and your faculty of the availability of the DGRweb 2015 website in your department. We also hope that it will remain a valuable asset to your program.
For the 2015 edition, the DGRweb offers the following.

Greetings,
The Center for Computational and
Integrative Biology (CCIB) is an exciting new initiative for Rutgers University
Camden Campus. The CCIB was established to reflect the cross-departmental
approach to biological research among faculty. The Center brings together collaborative
research and teaching of five departments: Biology, Mathematics, Computer
Science, Chemistry, and Physics. The Graduate Program in Computational Biology
offers Master’s and PhD level degrees. Students in the Center are given the
opportunity to use interdisciplinary approaches to study the complexity of biology.
Attached please find information on our MS
and PhD programs. I greatly appreciate if you could distribute these
opportunities among your students.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have
any questions.
