This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The San Francisco State University REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011. Eight students will be selected each year to participate in an intensive 10-week research program in the area of ecological and evolutionary developmental biology. Students in this program will begin with a two-week intensive lab/lecture course where they will learn about patterns and processes of molecular evolution and the role of phenotypic and environmental variation in the evolution of animal diversity and complexity. This will be followed by an eight-week independent research experience during which students will design and conduct original research in laboratories at SFSU and the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies. Students will participate in weekly professional development meetings in which they will learn strategies for pursuing successful careers in science. The summer's activities will conclude with a campus-wide research symposium where REU students will present their research findings to the campus community. The program incorporates social interactions and networking components designed to help REU students make connections that will endure beyond the end of the summer and help support them in their academic paths.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。旧金山州立大学REU网站将在2009 - 2011年夏季为本科生提供研究计划。每年将选择八名学生参加生态和进化发展生物学领域的一项密集的10周研究计划。该计划的学生将从为期两周的强化实验室/讲座课程开始，在那里他们将了解分子进化的模式和过程，以及表型和环境变化在动物多样性和复杂性演变中的作用。随后将是八周的独立研究经验，在此期间，学生将在SFSU和Romberg Tiburon环境研究中心设计和进行原始研究。学生将参加每周的专业发展会议，他们将学习从事科学领域成功职业的策略。夏天的活动将以校园范围内的研究研讨会结束，REU学生将向校园社区提出研究结果。该计划结合了社交互动和网络组件，旨在帮助REU学生建立联系，这些联系将在夏季结束时持久，并帮助他们走上学术道路。可以在http://biology.sfsu.edu/faculty-pages/reu上找到其他信息，或通过415-338-6995与项目主任Carmen Domingo博士联系。 [e-mail]。
