The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and
