ARGS:

The annual review of graduate students (ARGS) this year will be completed in a database called Digital Measures. There are a variety of data entry screens with data fields which will populate an annual review document you will share with your faculty advisor. Please complete two steps:

·    Add the Digital Measures tile in your MyUW webpage (you should be able to find it in the search box). Digital Measures will use your netid/password for login.

·    Sign up for one of the following Zoom training opportunities. Selecting a link will prompt you to register for a meeting. Upon registration, Zoom will send you a link you can use for that day/time. Keep it in a safe place.

IRIS: 

The Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) is once again offering "International Research and Training Grants for Incoming Graduate Students" to campus units for 2021.

The purpose of these grants is to recruit strong incoming graduate students who will at some point in their graduate training require a period of international fieldwork or development of language or cultural competence off the UW-Madison campus.

These are grants of $5,000 to be used early in the recipient's career at the UW-Madison.

Details on the award & application process are available on IRIS's website at:

http://iris.wisc.edu/funding/campus-units/incoming-grad-awards/

Please note that there have been changes made to nominating eligibility & numbers for the current cycle. Review the posted materials closely.

Any UW-Madison academic program that admits graduate students (included on the Graduate School’s website @ https://grad.wisc.edu/academic-programs/ as a guide) may nominate one incoming graduate student. Application is at the program, not plan, level; any questions regarding eligibility should be directed to awards@iris.wisc.edu

All nominations must be received by 10am on February 15, 2021; we will endeavor to notify units of decisions by the end of February.

Please see the web page - http://iris.wisc.edu/funding/campus-units/incoming-grad-awards/ - for more complete information. An information sheet and a nomination form are also attached to this message. If you have additional questions, please email me at awards@iris.wisc.edu.
