项目摘要

This REU Site award to the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory located in Gothic, CO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2022. Resesarch is conducted throughout the Gunnison Basin. The theme of the program is the Ecology of Place, or using a deep understanding of a place to generate general scientific insights. Students design and implement a field research program and present results orally and in writing at the end of the summer. Students also participate in professional development opportunities throughout the summer, such as discussions of scientific and non-academic careers, as well as responsible conduct of research topics such as sexual harassment and the ethics of research. The program recruit students nationally, building on established collaborative relationships with the Los Angeles community colleges. Students apply online, and submit essays and letters of reference. Students for whom the program will have a large impact, including students who would be unable to participate in summer research without financial support, are encouraged to apply.It is anticipated that a total of 50 students primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program over five years. The goal is that 70% of the participants will be minority students and at least 35% of the students will have a community college background. Students will learn how research is conducted, many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Approximately one-third of the students will publish results in scientific journals.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system as well as RMBL surveys. More information about the program is available by visiting rmbl.org/education , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Ian Billick, director@rmbl.org) or the co-PI (Dr. Jennifer Reithel at sd@rmbl.org).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项授予位于哥特式哥特式岩石山生物实验室的REU站点奖将在2018 - 2022年夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。 Resesarch是在整个Gunnison盆地进行的。该程序的主题是地方的生态，或者对一个产生一般科学见解的地方有深入的了解。学生设计和实施现场研究计划，并在夏季结束时口头和书面形式提出结果。学生还在整个夏季都参与专业发展机会，例如对科学和非学术职业的讨论，以及负责任的研究主题，例如性骚扰和研究伦理。该计划在与洛杉矶社区学院建立合作关系的基础上招募了全国学生。学生在线申请，并提交论文和推荐信。该计划将对该计划产生巨大影响的学生，包括未经财务支持将无法参加夏季研究的学生，鼓励申请。预计总共有50名主要来自研究机会有限的学校的学生将在计划中接受五年的培训。目标是70％的参与者将是少数族裔学生，至少35％的学生将具有社区大学背景。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。大约三分之一的学生将在科学期刊上发布结果。所有由生物基础设施部门资助的REU网站计划使用的常见基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。计划后将跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件以及RMBL调查。 More information about the program is available by visiting rmbl.org/education , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Ian Billick, director@rmbl.org) or the co-PI (Dr. Jennifer Reithel at sd@rmbl.org).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
