Graduate Research Scholar Communities (GRS)
The GRS programs were created by schools and colleges using, in part, AOF funding to establish a diverse community that extends across the departments. The Graduate Research Scholar (GRS) communities augment the standard curriculum with academic, social and professional development programming.
Graduate Engineering Research Scholars (GERS)
The College of Engineering's Graduate Engineering Research Scholars program is a unique fellowship program designed to offer students much more than monetary support. Through GERS, students become members of a supportive community of UW-Madison engineering graduate students, faculty and staff.

Science and Medicine Graduate Research Scholars Program
(SciMed-GRS)
The Science and Medicine GRS Program was established to enhance the experiences and opportunities of our targeted graduate students in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) and the School of Medicine and Public Health. This program provides resources to both students and faculty mentors to enrich the graduate experience at UW- Madison. Workshops on professional activities and career opportunities as well as community gatherings are a component of this program. There are 35 departments and graduate programs that are included in the SciMed-GRS Program that are quite diverse and offer a range of opportunities.
