项目摘要

This REU Site award to Georgia Southern University (GSU), located in Statesboro, GA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. Housed at GSU's Institute for Coastal Plain Science, the unifying theme involves the impacts of global climate change stressors on organisms and ecosystems of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The goal is to engage undergraduates in research and professional development activities that promote an understanding of the unique physical and biological resources occurring in this geographic region as well as their sustainable use and management. Students will participate in hands-on research guided by faculty mentors, as well as in professional development workshops targeting general and conceptual knowledge in the ecology and geology of the coastal plain, scientific communication skills (oral and written), techniques for locating and evaluating primary literature, and ethical practices in science. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students will be trained in the program. Recruitment is targeted at 1st and 2nd year (freshman/sophomore) students attending institutions in the southeastern U.S. where research opportunities may be more limited, such as at 2-year colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions. Students from underrepresented groups that comprise a large percentage of the population in the region are especially encouraged to apply. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The goal is to foster an environment for learning and professional development that leads to opportunities in graduate studies and careers in science. 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. More information about the program is available by visiting http://cosm.georgiasouthern.edu/icps/REU/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. J. Checo Colon-Gaud at jccolongaud@georgiasouthern.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Danny Gleason at dgleason@georgiasouthern.edu).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.

佐治亚州Statesboro的佐治亚州南部大学（GSU）的REU网站奖将在2019 - 2021年夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。统一的主题位于GSU沿海平原科学研究所，涉及全球气候变化压力源对大西洋沿海平原的生物和生态系统的影响。目的是让大学生参与研究和专业发展活动，以促进对该地理区域中发生的独特物理和生物资源的理解以及其可持续使用和管理。学生将参加以教师导师为指导的动手研究，以及针对沿海平原，科学沟通技巧（口述和书面）的生态学和地质的一般知识的专业发展研讨会，用于定位和评估主要文献的技术，以及科学方面的道德实践。预计将在该计划中对总共30名学生进行培训。招聘的目标是在美国东南部的机构的第一年和第二年（新生/大二学生）的学生，那里的研究机会可能更有限，例如在2年的大学和主要是本科机构。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的群体的学生特别鼓励申请该地区大部分人口。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人会在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。目的是促进一个学习和专业发展的环境，从而为研究生学习和科学职业带来机会。由生物基础设施部资助的所有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。 More information about the program is available by visiting http://cosm.georgiasouthern.edu/icps/REU/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. J. Checo Colon-Gaud at jccolongaud@georgiasouthern.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Danny Gleason at dgleason@georgiasouthern.edu).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来支持。
