The WaterCube NRT program at MSU was designed to prepare a competent workforce for addressing future sustainability and socio-economic challenges in water. We believe that solving complex, real-world water problems takes synergistic advancement and integration of data science, water science, and social science.

WaterCube is a National Research Traineeship (NRT) program funded by the National Science Foundation.
