项目摘要

This REU Site award to the California Academy of Sciences, located in San Francisco, California, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022–2024. Research will primarily be conducted at the Academy and at local field sites in Sonoma County, California. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from underrepresented groups, will be trained in the program. 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 the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be required to register in the NSF ETAP system (etap.nsf.gov) and tracked after the program to determine their career paths.The Academy’s Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability is a research hub focused on understanding the natural world and finding solutions to sustaining it. The institution houses world-class natural history research collections, along with the modern-day technology and genomics tools needed to study these specimens. Participants of the Summer Systematics Institute REU will begin the summer with fieldwork and immersive workshops, before returning to the Academy to be paired with 1:1 mentors, our curators and research scientists, to work on original research projects and attend seminars which provide tools in the field of systematics and phylogenetics. The students’ summer culminates with scientific and popular writing and giving an oral presentation to the community in our final symposium. Students apply through an online application system and will be recruited from universities and community colleges across the country. Applicants identify potential mentors during the application process, and applications are competitively reviewed by advisors who make the final selection of participants. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.calacademy.org/summer-systematics-institute, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Lauren Esposito at lesposito@calacademy.org) or the co-PI (Dr. Rebecca Johnson at rjohnson@calacademy.org).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.

这项授予位于加利福尼亚州旧金山的加利福尼亚科学院的REU网站奖将在2022 - 2024年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。研究将在加利福尼亚州索诺玛县的学院和当地地点进行。预计总共有30名学生，来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的小组，学生将学习如何进行研究，许多学生将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。该程序的评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。学生将被要求在NSF ETAP系统（ETAP.NSF.GOV）中注册，并在计划之后进行跟踪以确定自己的职业道路。该机构拥有世界一流的自然历史研究收藏，以及研究这些物种所需的现代技术和基因组学工具。夏季系统研究所REU的参与者将从夏季开始进行现场工作和身临其境的研讨会，然后返回学院与1：1的导师，我们的策展人和研究科学家配对，以从事原始研究项目并参加下水道，并在系统和系统发育学领域提供工具。学生的夏季以科学和流行的写作达到顶点，并在我们的最后一次研讨会上向社区进行了口头介绍。学生通过在线申请系统申请，并将在全国各地的大学和社区大学招募。申请人在申请过程中确定潜在的导师，并且申请由最终选择参与者的顾问进行竞争性审查。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问https://www.calacademy.org/summer-systematics-institute，或通过与PI联系（通过lesposito@calacademy.org博士与PI（Lauren Esposito博士使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响标准，认为通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
