0227714EdwardsThe Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) and the Society of SystematicBiologists (SSB) are the premier Societies in the US for discussion anddissemination of ideas relating to evolution. This proposal will providetravel costs, registration costs, and lodging costs to approximately 15minority undergraduates for the annual meetings of these societies for theyears 2003 - 2006. These undergraduates will also present posters at themeetings. The proposal is an outgrowth of a pilot program conducted atthe 2001 meetings which raised awareness and enthusiasm for the need tobroaden the undergraduate base at the meetings. During the meetings theundergraduates will be mentored by graduate student and faculty mentors,who will help the undergraduate network at the meetings, help demystifytalks for the undergraduates, and generally make the students feel morewelcome at the meetings. There will also be an official mentoring sessionfor undergraduates, consisting of a 'pep-talk'/seminar that will helpencourage the students to prepare for careers and/or graduate school inevolutionary/environmental biology. These activities will be supplementedby social activities not covered by this grant, as well as further effortson the part of both societies for encouraging undergraduate participation,such as reduced registration fees, daily fees for attendance by studentsat the host site, and an undergraduate poster session. These activitieswill help increase the amount of minority and other undergraduateparticipation at the meetings, and ultimately should have a positiveeffect on minority participation in evolutionary biology nationally.

0227714Edwards进化研究协会（SSE）和系统生物学家学会（SSB）是美国的主要社会，供与进化有关的思想讨论和降解。该提案将为这些社会的年度会议2003年至2006年的年度会议大约15米的本科生提供大约15分钟内的本科生的ProvideTravel成本，注册成本和住宿费用。这些本科生也将在Themetings上呈现海报。 该提议是在2001年会议上进行的试点计划的产物，该计划提高了人们对需要在会议上的本科基础的意识和热情。 在会议期间，研究生和教职导师将指导他们，他们将在会议上帮助本科网络，帮助本科生宣传，并通常会使学生在会议上更受欢迎。 还将有一个正式的指导会议为本科生提供，包括一个“ Pep-Talk”/研讨会，该课程将帮助学生为职业和/或研究生院的不发展/环境生物学做准备。 这些活动将补充这笔赠款不涵盖的社会活动，以及进一步的努力，这两个社会的一部分鼓励本科参与，例如降低注册费，学生在主持人网站上出勤的每日费用以及本科海报会议。 这些活动将有助于增加会议上的少数群体和其他本科生的数量，最终应对全国进化生物学的少数群体参与积极效果。
