REU Site: Brooklyn Urban Ecology and Environment Program (BUEE)This REU Site award to Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in Brooklyn, NY will support the training of ten students per year for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2020. BUEE offers an integrative research program aimed at developing underrepresented undergraduate students into mature and thoughtful environmental scientists. Authentic research experiences on human-coupled natural systems will be complemented by a rigorous educational program aimed at developing practical experience in research integrity, scientific communication and quantitative literacy. BUEE leverages the unique academic and research resources at Brooklyn College/CUNY, including a state-of-the-art environmental assessment and aquatic research center and the recently-established Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay, focused on urban sustainability and resilience. It is anticipated that thirty students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities in urban ecology and the environment, will be trained during the program. BUEE will draw from a diverse pool of local, regional, and national applicants who have demonstrated an enthusiastic and committed interest to environmental science and/or policy, and will provide participants with distinctive research opportunities in the largest urban center in the United States. Community outreach is central to the program's educational mission, and will include activities aimed at public education and peer mentoring, a seminar series focusing on environmental issues in the local community, and the involvement of community representatives in the evaluation and assessment of student research projects. A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs and funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of BUEE's training program. Longitudinal tracking of students after program completion will provide data on the effectiveness of the REU in preparing students for careers in urban ecology and the environmental sciences. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about BUEE is available by visiting http://buee.brooklyn.cuny.edu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Tony Wilson - [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Brett Branco - [e-mail]).

REU 场地：布鲁克林城市生态与环境计划 (BUEE) REU 场地授予位于纽约布鲁克林的纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院，将在 2018-2020 年夏季每年支持 10 名学生为期 10 周的培训。 BUEE 提供综合研究项目，旨在将代表性不足的本科生培养成成熟且有思想的环境科学家。关于人类耦合自然系统的真实研究经验将得到严格的教育计划的补充，该教育计划旨在培养研究诚信、科学交流和定量素养方面的实践经验。 BUEE 利用布鲁克林学院/纽约市立大学独特的学术和研究资源，包括最先进的环境评估和水生研究中心以及最近在牙买加湾成立的科学与复原力研究所，专注于城市可持续性和复原力。预计将有 30 名学生（主要来自城市生态和环境研究机会有限的学校）在该计划期间接受培训。 BUEE 将从对环境科学和/或政策表现出热情和坚定兴趣的本地、地区和国家多元化申请者中招募，并将为参与者在美国最大的城市中心提供独特的研究机会。社区外展是该计划教育使命的核心，包括旨在公共教育和同伴指导的活动、重点关注当地社区环境问题的研讨会系列，以及社区代表参与学生研究项目的评估和评估。所有 REU 站点计划均使用并由生物基础设施部门资助的基于网络的通用评估工具将用于确定 BUEE 培训计划的有效性。项目完成后对学生的纵向跟踪将提供有关 REU 在为学生从事城市生态学和环境科学职业做好准备方面的有效性的数据。学生将被要求回复通过 NSF 报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关 BUEE 的更多信息，请访问 http://buee.brooklyn.cuny.edu，或联系 PI（Tony Wilson 博士 - [e-mail]）或联合 PI（Brett Branco 博士 - [e-mail]）。
