This REU Site award to University of Hawaii at Hilo, located in Hilo, HI, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2020. The REU program places primary emphasis on tropical ecological research in degraded ecosystems. Interns will participate in professional development, field trips, and outreach, attend the State's annual conservation science conference, and prepare an oral presentation and final paper. This work is expected to spark the research careers for the next generation of environmental problem-solvers through intensive writing training, solution-oriented research topics, and a supportive program structure. The program concentrates on the health and restoration of degraded ecosystems by investigating the spatial spread of degradation as well as ecosystem functioning of resilient communities. The primary focus will be on attracting students with a passion for the environment and nurturing the confidence, skill set and ability to effect positive change and pursue a viable career in this field. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily underrepresented minority students (Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander in particular), first-generation college students, and students with little to no research experience, will work with a diverse team of faculty mentors on projects focused on the ecology of degraded landscapes. Students will learn how research is conducted, and present the results of their work at an internal symposium as well as at scientific conferences.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 as well as multiple internal methods. 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://hilo.hawaii.edu/uhintern, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Ostertag at [e-mail]), co-PI (Dr. Puniwai-Ganoot at [e-mail]), or project coordinators (Linnea Heu and Rita Miller at [e-mail]).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HI的HILO的HILO大学的REU网站奖将在2018 - 2020年夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。 REU计划的主要重点是退化的生态系统中的热带生态研究。实习生将参加专业发展，实地考察和外展活动，参加该州的年度保护科学会议，并准备口头演讲和最终论文。预计这项工作将通过密集的写作培训，面向解决方案的研究主题和支持性计划结构来激发下一代环境问题解决者的研究职业。该计划通过研究降解的空间传播以及弹性群落的生态系统功能，集中于退化生态系统的健康和恢复。主要的重点将是吸引对环境充满热情的学生，并培养在这一领域中实现积极变革并从事可行职业的信心，技能和能力。预计，总共有30名学生，主要代表性不足的少数族裔学生（尤其是夏威夷人和太平洋岛民），第一代大学生以及几乎没有研究经验的学生将与一系列的教职导师团队合作，专注于降级景观的生态学项目。学生将学习如何进行研究，并在内部研讨会以及科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。所有由生物基础设施部门资助的REU站点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以及多种内部方法。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。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问http://hilo.hawaii.edu/uhintern，或通过与PI联系（[e-mail]），Co-pi（puniwaii.edu）（puniwaiwaie-ganoot博士，[e-mail]），或linneaeaea at lineneaea at in lineneaeaheue和linnea andnea and andnea andneaheuerator和ritneators and ritneators and ritneators and ritneators and ritneators（ [e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估值得支持。
