项目摘要

This award supports Elizabeth Braker of Occidental College and Terrence P. McGlynn of the University of San Diego to organize an International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program in Costa Rica on the topic of tropical ecology. The U.S. investigators will coordinate collaborative research efforts with Javier Espeleta at the La Selva Biological Station. The goal of this activity is to train talented students from underrepresented groups to become field ecologists with experience in international settings. To accomplish this goal the three senior investigators will mentor four undergraduates each year in long-term tropical-field research projects. Undergraduate students first will conduct research at the tropical rain forest field station, and then they will continue their research at their home institutions in a year-round mentorship.The broader impacts of the proposal include the promotion of international research collaborations, the creation of mentorships in the sciences for undergraduates of underrepresented groups, extensive field experiences for undergraduates oriented towards ecological research, and bringing undergraduates from primarily undergraduate institutions into an active research environment with graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty. The project will foster a nascent collaboration between U.S. and Costa Rican scientists and reinforce ongoing research projects of the PIs in Costa Rica.

该奖项支持西方学院的伊丽莎白·布雷克（Elizabeth Braker）和圣地亚哥大学的特伦斯·麦格林（Terrence P. 美国调查人员将与La Selva生物站的Javier Espeleta协作合作研究工作。这项活动的目的是培训来自代表性不足的团体的才华横溢的学生，成为具有国际环境经验的现场生态学家。为了实现这一目标，这三名高级调查人员将在长期的热带领域研究项目中每年指导四名本科生。本科生首先将在热带雨林野外站进行研究，然后他们将在全年的指导中继续在家庭机构进行研究。该提案的更广泛的影响包括促进国际研究合作的促进，在科学中创建指导性的研究，以实现不足的群体，以不足的领域，朝着不足的领域，朝着培养不足的领域，并朝着培养培训，并朝着培养培训，朝着培养培训，并朝着研究生的培训，朝着研究生的研究，朝着研究生的培训，研究生的研究生是研究生的，构成了研究生的研究。主要是研究生，博士后研究人员和教职员工的本科机构。该项目将促进美国和哥斯达黎加科学家之间的新生合作，并加强哥斯达黎加的PIS正在进行的研究项目。
