This REU Site award to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), located in New York, NY, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. It is anticipated that a total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The program, Systematics and Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century, aims to build research capacity and strengthen skills in students who participate, growing the field of biological sciences with an aim to diversify the discipline as a whole. 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 tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The theme of the REU program is systematics and evolution and students will be mentored in lab and field techniques, analytical methods, as well as scientific communication and collaboration. Students will be mentored by museum scientists. Interested students will register in the NSF ETAP system (https://etap.nsf.gov). In selecting participants, emphasis is placed on student-project and student-mentor matching. Student research projects will cover the various fields of the systematics discipline from descriptive taxonomy to population genomics, linguistics and phylogenomics; students will learn to collect different types of neontological and paleontological data, and acquire experience with advanced morphological, molecular, and computational methods. Students will learn about the role and responsibility of museums as stewards of diversity through time and space by gaining familiarity with the AMNH’s vast collections. Further enrichment will be through weekly lectures and training sessions as well as workshops on ethics and responsible scientific conduct. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.amnh.org/research/richard-gilder-graduate-school/academics/fellowship-and-grant-opportunities/undergraduate-fellowships/reu-biology-program, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jessica Ware, [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Cheryl Hayashi, [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.

这项授予位于纽约纽约的美国自然历史博物馆（AMNH）的REU网站奖将在2023 - 2025年的夏季支持12名学生的培训10周。预计将在该计划中培训总共36名学生，来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的小组。该计划，系统学和21世纪的进化生物学旨在在参与学生的学生中建立研究能力和强大的技能，发展生物科学领域，旨在使整个学科多样化。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人会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。将在计划之后跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。REU计划的主题是系统和进化，将在实验室和现场技术，分析方法以及科学交流和协作中调用学生。博物馆科学家将召集学生。有兴趣的学生将在NSF ETAP系统（https://etap.nsf.gov）中注册。在选择参与者时，重点放在学生项目和学生对象匹配上。学生研究项目将涵盖系统学科的各个领域，从描述性分类学到人群基因组学，语言学和系统基因组；学生将学会收集不同类型的新生产和古生物学数据，并获得先进的形态，分子和计算方法的经验。学生将通过熟悉AMNH的庞大收藏来了解博物馆作为多元化的管理者的作用和责任。进一步的充实将是通过每周的讲座和培训课程以及有关道德和负责任的科学行为的讲习班。有关该程序的更多信息，可以通过访问https://www.amnh.org/research/richard-gladuate-school/academics/fellowshiphiphip---------------er-grant-grant-grant-opportunities/undergraduate-fellowships/reu-biologhoth-/reu-biology-program，或与pi（jessica dr. jessica warey，jessica ware，jese nhh.co nhh。 Hayashi，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来诚实地通过评估来诚实地支持。
