This REU Site award to the University of California, Davis, CA, will support the training of eight students for nine weeks during the summers of 2021- 2023. Research is conducted at laboratories at UC Davis or nearby field sites. It is anticipated that a total of 24 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities (including partner institutions Howard University, CSU Fullerton, CSU Sacramento, and CSU Sonoma) or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how to conduct research aimed at understanding ecological and evolutionary responses of organisms, communities and ecosystems to rapid environmental change and will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Program assessment will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The UC Davis REU Site focuses on two major research themes: (a) ecological and evolutionary effects of changing environmental regimes and (b) the biology of organisms in human-dominated ecosystems. These areas (1) encompass important challenges that organisms and ecosystems face as a result of rapid environmental change, (2) reflect shared interests of UC Davis and partner-institution faculty, and (3) include specific research questions in urban, rural, agricultural, and natural systems and thus span the spectrum of effects of rapid environmental change that must be addressed by a diverse society. Faculty and graduate student mentors from the College of Biological Sciences or College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences will guide REU scholars in projects that include studies of marine invertebrate range limits, plant phenology, thermal stress in butterfly caterpillars, salmonid physiology, ecological interactions in managed terrestrial ecosystems, human influences on bees or birds, and estuarine restoration ecology. The program includes instruction in responsible conduct of research, scientific communication, and the scripting language R, discussion about careers in environmental biology, field trips to nearby research reserves, and post-program mentoring. Review of applications will begin on 1 February, with applicants reviewed by faculty from UC Davis and partners. For more information and to apply, please see https://eerrec.ucdavis.edu, or contact Program Coordinator Dr. Carole Hom ([e-mail]) or the PI Dr. Rick Grosberg ([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.

加利福尼亚大学加利福尼亚大学的REU网站奖将在2021年至2023年的夏季支持八名学生的培训。预计总共有24名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校（包括霍华德大学，CSU Fullerton，CSU Sacramento和CSU Sonoma）或来自代表性不足的群体的学生将接受该计划的培训。学生将学习如何进行旨在了解生物，社区和生态系统对快速环境变化的生态和进化反应的研究，并将在科学会议上介绍其工作的结果。计划评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。该计划将在计划之后进行跟踪，以确定自己的职业道路。加州大学戴维斯（UC Davis REU）站点侧重于两个主要的研究主题：（a）不断变化的环境制度的生态和进化影响，以及（b）人类主导的生态系统中生物体的生物学。这些领域（1）涵盖了由于环境快速变化而面临的生物和生态系统所面临的重要挑战，（2）反映了UC Davis和合作伙伴施主教师的共同利益，以及（3）在城市，农村，农业，农业系统和自然系统中包括特定的研究问题，因此，快速环境变化的影响范围是由各种社会解决的快速环境变化的效果。来自生物科学学院或农业与环境科学学院的教职员工和研究生导师将指导REU学者的项目，包括对海洋无脊椎动物范围的研究，植物候量，植物候，蝴蝶caterpillars中的热压力，鲑鱼生理学，鲑鱼生理学，生态学的生态学生态学的生态学，人类的生态学，人类的生态学和鸟类的生态鸟类或鸟类的蜜蜂。该计划包括有关负责任的研究，科学交流和脚本语言R的指导，有关环境生物学职业的讨论，对附近研究储备的实地考察以及后图后指导。申请的审查将于2月1日开始，申请人由加州大学戴维斯分校和合作伙伴的教师进行了审查。 For more information and to apply, please see https://eerrec.ucdavis.edu, or contact Program Coordinator Dr. Carole Hom ([e-mail]) or the PI Dr. Rick Grosberg ([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影响审查标准。
