| Abstract | The University of Massachusetts Amherst Institute for Cellular Engineering (ICE) has developed a novel interdisciplinary graduate training program in cellular engineering, the NSF-funded ICE IGERT program. Engineering cellular form and function is the basis for many ventures in the biomedical and biotechnology industries in Massachusetts and across the U.S., including design of bioremediation processes for contaminated site cleanup, generation of artificial organs and tissues, and production of biologic pharmaceuticals. Students focus in one of three interrelated cellular engineering thrust areas: 1) Applied Systems Biology, 2) Cell Delivery and 3) Protein Engineering. Key features of the program include a unifying course to train both life scientists and engineers/physical scientists in the fundamentals of cellular engineering, hands-on laboratory modules on state-of-the-art techniques, a weekly research seminar series with mentoring component, and formal professional development activities including team-building and ethics. This IGERT is unique in that the leadership is all-female and the faculty participants are 45% female and 15% non-white, and we recruit diverse students through collaboration with the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NEAGEP) program. The primary outcome of this novel training program is establishment of a well-trained diverse workforce in state-of-the art technologies that is poised to be leaders in cellular engineering both in academia and industry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
