项目摘要

GER-9452643 University of Vermont Schall We ask support for five Graduate Research Traineeships in Environmental Biology. These students will be trained by eight faculty in the Zoology Department of the University of Vermont (UVM). This cluster of biologists has been selected as a "center of excellence" in science: Joint state and NSF EPSCoR funding will support continuing research by the cluster, and the university has recently added two faculty to the group. The EPSCoR funds also provide seed and travel grants for graduate students. Today's doctoral students in environmental biology must combine traditional field and theoretical ecology with population genetics, phylogenetic analysis, and modern molecular techniques. Each student will receive training in an EPSCoR-funded Molecular Ecology and Evolution Laboratory, and take a series of modern laboratory courses in ecological theory, population genetics, and phylogenetic analysis. In addition, five of the eight UVM cluster faculty conduct research on ecological and evolutionary parasitology, providing a leading center for training students in this field. Specific plans for recruiting women and multicultural students are detailed. The UVM Zoology faculty consists of an unusually high proportion of women who can act as mentors for female students; the cluster already has in place agreements with several HBCU's locate promising multicultural students.

GER-9452643佛蒙特大学Schall大学，我们向环境生物学的五项研究生研究培训提供支持。这些学生将接受佛蒙特大学（UVM）动物学系的八个教师的培训。这组生物学家已被选为科学的“卓越中心”：联合国家和NSF EPSCOR资金将支持集群的持续研究，该大学最近为该小组增加了两个教师。 EPSCOR基金还为研究生提供种子和旅行赠款。当今的环境生物学博士生必须将传统领域和理论生态学与种群遗传学，系统发育分析和现代分子技术相结合。每个学生将接受EPSCOR资助的分子生态学和进化实验室的培训，并在生态理论，人群遗传学和系统发育分析中接受一系列现代实验室课程。此外，八个UVM群集教师中有五个对生态和进化寄生虫学进行了研究，为该领域的培训学生提供了领先的中心。详细介绍了招募妇女和多元文化学生的具体计划。 UVM动物学教师包括可以充当女学生的导师的女性比例异常。该集群已经与HBCU的几位有希望的多元文化学生达成了协议。
