This REU Site award to the Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG), located in St. Louis, MO, will support the training of 10 students each year for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. MBG is one of the most active botanical research institutions in the US, with special strengths in plant conservation and taxonomy, offering unusual opportunities for students to engage in research of practical importance. Students will learn how research is conducted and many will co-author articles in scientific journals. Mentors will benefit by developing mentorship skills through formal training and hands-on opportunities to mentor students. Students’ experiences and lasting benefits of the program will be assessed through the online SALG URSSA tool and long-term follow-up to determine their career paths. Students will be required to register their participation on the NSF’s ETAP system.This REU site will focus on botany and conservation biology. Mentors from throughout MBG’s Science and Conservation division will participate, offering projects in plant ecology, restoration ecology, taxonomy and systematics, conservation biology and genetics, ethnobotany, and pollination biology. At present, students apply by emailing an application form and other materials; in future, the ETAP system will be used to streamline the process. Candidates will be selected by a committee including the PI and co-PI, with input from mentors. Students will work on individual research projects, attend weekly seminars, and participate in group educational sessions, concluding by presenting their results in a symposium. Students will be trained in ethics and responsible conduct of research, research methods, scientific writing, preparing oral and poster presentations, applying to and succeeding in graduate school, and career development. Some students will co-author journal articles; recent publications describe new species and explore the effects of restoration practices, the population genetics of endangered species, and coevolution of morphological traits in legumes.

这项授予密苏里州圣路易斯市密苏里植物园（MBG）的REU网站奖将在2023 - 2025年夏季在10周内对10个学生的培训。预计将在该计划中培训总共有30名学生，来自研究机会有限或代表性不足的学校的学校。 MBG是美国最活跃的植物学研究机构之一，具有植物保护和分类学方面的特殊优势，为学生提供了从事实际重要性研究的异常机会。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学期刊上共同撰写文章。导师将通过对心态学生进行正规培训和实践机会来发展心态技能，从而受益。学生的经验和计划的持久优势将通过在线Salg Urssa工具和长期随访来评估，以确定自己的职业道路。学生将被要求注册他们对NSF ETAP系统的参与。该REU网站将重点关注植物学和保护生物学。来自MBG的科学与保护部门的导师将参加植物生态，恢复生态学，分类学和系统学，保护生物学和遗传学，民族植物学和授粉生物学的项目。目前，学生通过通过电子邮件发送申请表和其他材料来申请；将来，ETAP系统将用于简化该过程。候选人将由包括PI和Co-Pi在内的委员会选出，并由导师的意见。学生将从事单个研究项目，参加每周的半手，并参加小组教育会议，以在研讨会上介绍他们的结果。学生将接受伦理和负责任的研究，研究方法，科学写作，准备口头和海报演示，申请并在研究生院的成功以及职业发展的培训。一些学生将共同撰写期刊文章；最近的出版物描述了新物种，并探讨了恢复实践的影响，濒危物种的种群遗传学以及豆类形态特征的同步。可以通过访问http://www.mobot.org/reu或与PI（Wendy Applequist博士）或Co-Pi（MónicaCarlsen博士）联系，通过[e-mail]奖，该奖项反映了NSF的法规诚实的支持，可以通过评估诚实的范围，从而通过评估了诚实的范围，可以通过访问http://www.mobot.org/reu，或与PI（Wendy Applequist博士）或Co-Pi（Wendy Applequist博士）或Co-Pi（Wendy Applequist博士）或Co-pi（MónicaCarlsen博士）联系，可以通过诚实的支持，可以通过评估诚实的范围来获得有关该计划的更多信息的更多信息。
