项目摘要

This REU Site award to Harvard University’s Harvard Forest, located in Petersham, MA, will support the training of 12 students for 11 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. It is anticipated that a total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an underrepresented group, will be trained in the program. Students and mentors will work in teams who will connect long-term, site-based research and ecological research networks to solve fundamental ecological challenges relevant to society. Students will enhance their ability to undertake high-quality interdisciplinary research in a collaborative, collegial environment, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will use the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The Harvard Forest REU Site will train the next generation of ecological data scientists to responsibly ‘harness the data revolution’ – one of NSF’s 10 Big Ideas for future research. An REU Site since 1993, the program will leverage Harvard Forest’s deep site-based knowledge and membership in intersecting ecological research networks to advance knowledge of the earth system and the ability to predict responses to environmental change. Projects range from measuring and modeling bacterial evolution in response to long-term experimental soil warming, to incorporating land-use data into interpretations of NEON eddy-flux and organismal data, to developing software tools to improve replicability in science. All projects will involve ecological data and data science from networks of sites (e.g., LTER, NEON, ForestGEO, Ameriflux). Many projects will include virtual collaborations; students will have a primary on-site mentor to guide their work and will simultaneously work in teams with remote mentors. Educational components include an orientation, seminars and professional development workshops, and training in responsible conduct of research. Students apply online and applicants are interviewed and selected by research mentors in consultation with program leadership. In addition to the SALG URSSA tool, student outcomes will be tracked using a 10-year, IRB-approved longitudinal study. More information about the program is available by visiting https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/summerprogram, or by contacting hfreuapp@fas.harvard.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.

REU 授予位于马萨诸塞州彼得舍姆的哈佛大学哈佛森林的这一项目将支持 12 名学生在 2020 年至 2022 年夏季进行为期 11 周的培训，预计总共 36 名学生，主要来自研究有限的学校。机会或来自代表性不足的群体，将在该计划中接受培训，学生和导师将在团队中工作，将长期的实地研究和生态研究网络联系起来，以解决与相关的基本生态挑战。学生将提高在协作、学院环境中进行高质量跨学科研究的能力，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果，该项目的评估将使用在线 SALG URSSA 工具进行跟踪。哈佛森林 REU 站点将培训下一代生态数据科学家，以负责任的方式“利用数据革命”——这是 NSF 未来研究的 10 大创意之一。自 1993 年以来，该计划将利用哈佛森林的深入实地知识和交叉生态研究网络的成员资格来增进对地球系统的了解和预测对环境变化的反应的能力。项目范围包括测量和模拟细菌进化以应对长期的变化。 - 长期实验性土壤变暖，将土地利用数据纳入霓虹灯涡流和生物数据的解释中，开发软件工具以提高科学的可复制性。所有项目都将涉及来自站点网络的生态数据和数据科学。 LTER、NEON、ForestGEO、Ameriflux）许多项目将包括虚拟协作；学生将有一名主要的现场导师来指导他们的工作，并同时与远程导师进行团队合作，包括定向、研讨会和专业发展研讨会。以及负责任的研究行为培训。学生在线申请，申请人由研究导师与项目领导协商进行面试和选择。除了 SALG URSSA 工具外，还将使用 IRB 批准的 10 年期跟踪学生成果。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问 https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/summerprogram，或联系 hfreuapp@fas.harvard.edu。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得支持。通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
