项目摘要

This REU Site award to the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) of Michigan State University (MSU), in rural Hickory Corners, MI, will support training for 10 students over 11 weeks during the summers of 2018 - 2020. The program focuses on the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive responses in plant, animal and microbial systems to global change. REU students work in KBS faculty labs that have affiliated positions in departments of Integrative Biology, Plant Biology, Plant Soil and Microbial Sciences, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Animal Science, Entomology and Forestry at MSU. Students will collaborate with their mentor(s) to design a research project that takes advantage of the diverse habitats and long term experiments at KBS to test hypotheses about how climate change impacts both managed and natural systems. Students will participate in a professional development program that addresses issues such as scientific best practices, preparation for graduate school and employment in STEM fields, and effective ways for communicating science. Recruitment targets increasing participation of military veterans, students from under-represented groups, or students from institutions with limited research opportunities in ecology and evolutionary biology. The on-line application is reviewed by program coordinators who forward appropriate candidates to mentors who interview applicants whose interests best match their research. It is anticipated a total of 30 students will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research questions are developed and tested, and will present the results of their work at a public symposium. Students will live at KBS, and will interact daily with resident faculty, graduate students and postdocs, who conduct research on a broad range of ecological and evolutionary topics. The common web-based assessment tool used by all REU programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences) will be used to determine effectiveness of the training program. Students are tracked after the program and expected to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by contacting the PI (Dr. Katherine Gross at kgross@kbs.msu.edu), or the co-PI (Dr. Danielle Zoellner at zoellne8@msu.edu) or at our website (http://www.kbs.msu.edu/index.php/education/ugrad/reu).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.

REU 网站授予 W.K.位于密歇根州希科里角乡村的密歇根州立大学 (MSU) 凯洛格生物站 (KBS) 将在 2018 年至 2020 年夏季期间为 10 名学生提供为期 11 周的培训。该计划重点关注驱动反应的生态和进化过程植物、动物和微生物系统对全球变化的影响。 REU 学生在 KBS 教员实验室工作，该实验室在密歇根州立大学综合生物学、植物生物学、植物土壤和微生物科学、微生物学和分子遗传学、动物科学、昆虫学和林业系设有附属职位。学生将与导师合作设计一个研究项目，利用 KBS 的多样化栖息地和长期实验来测试有关气候变化如何影响管理系统和自然系统的假设。学生将参加专业发展计划，解决科学最佳实践、研究生院准备和 STEM 领域就业以及传播科学的有效方法等问题。招募的目标是增加退伍军人、来自代表性不足群体的学生或来自生态学和进化生物学研究机会有限的机构的学生的参与。在线申请由项目协调员审核，他们将合适的候选人转发给导师，导师面试兴趣最符合其研究的申请人。预计共有 30 名学生将接受该计划的培训。学生将学习如何开发和测试研究问题，并将在公开研讨会上展示他们的工作成果。学生将住在 KBS，每天与常驻教师、研究生和博士后互动，他们对广泛的生态和进化主题进行研究。由生物基础设施司（生物科学局）资助的所有 REU 计划所使用的通用网络评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。项目结束后，学生将受到跟踪，并期望回复通过 NSF 报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。如需了解更多信息，请联系 PI（Katherine Gross 博士，kgross@kbs.msu.edu）或联合 PI（Danielle Zoellner 博士，zoellne8@msu.edu）或访问我们的网站 (http://www .kbs.msu.edu/index.php/education/ugrad/reu)。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，认为值得支持优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
