This REU Site Award to the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, in Friday Harbor, WA, will support the training of 15 students for 8 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 45 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Applications are encouraged from a diverse group of motivated young scientists and students from institutions with limited opportunities for research. HBCU, minority serving institutions, and community college students are especially encouraged to apply. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through an online assessment tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.This REU focuses on the marine environment, with an emphasis on marine ecology, developmental biology, disease ecology, and physiology. Mentors from the Departments of Biology, Oceanography, Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries will be involved. The program includes one on one mentoring as well as group training in cross cutting topics that include ethics in research, statistics, career pathways, bias, and diversity. Students should apply through the web portal (below). Applicants will be selected by the PIs and mentors based on essays, interest in research, and letters of recommendation to recruit a diverse cohort with a range of academic experience. REU participants are selected by mentors and principal investigators Examples of research projects include the ecology of armored shores, evolution of meiofaunal organisms, armor in fishes, seagrass disease ecology, and evolutionary morphology of fishes using micro-CT scanning and phylogenetic comparative methods. More information about the program is available by visiting https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-research/summer- research-internships/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Adam Summers at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Amy Cook [e-mail]).This award is supported by the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences in the Directorate for Geosciences.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 场地奖授予位于华盛顿州星期五港的华盛顿大学星期五港实验室，该实验室将在 2022 年至 2024 年夏季期间支持 15 名学生为期 8 周的培训，预计主要来自学校的总共 45 名学生。研究机会有限或代表性不足的群体将受到该计划的培训，该计划将鼓励来自研究机会有限的 HBCU 机构的多元化年轻科学家和学生提出申请。特别鼓励学生申请，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果，该项目的评估将通过在线评估工具进行。该REU专注于海洋环境，重点是海洋生态学、发育生物学、疾病生态学和生理学，来自生物学、海洋学、林业、野生动物和渔业系的导师。该计划将涉及。一对一的辅导以及跨领域的小组培训，包括研究道德、统计、职业道路、偏见和多样性。 申请人将由 PI 和导师挑选。 REU 参与者由导师和主要研究人员挑选，包括论文、研究兴趣和推荐信，以招募具有广泛学术经验的多元化群体。使用微型 CT 扫描和系统发育比较方法研究鱼类、海草疾病生态学和鱼类进化形态，有关该计划的更多信息，请访问 https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-。 Research/summer-research-internships/，或联系 PI（Adam Summers 博士，[e-mail]）或联合 PI（Amy Cook [e-mail] 博士）。该奖项得到生物科学理事会生物基础设施司和地球科学理事会海洋科学司的支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
