NRT: Ecosystem science in the face of rapid ocean change: a convergence approachThis National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) award to the University of Maine will leverage the unique resources of the Gulf of Maine to train the next generation of scientists, managers, and policymakers in a new, convergent approach to ecosystem science. Researchers, students and community partners will generate, integrate, and apply transdisciplinary knowledge to inform responses to rapid ocean change. Program participants will develop new ways of understanding and creating data, knowledge, and tools that can be leveraged to enable ecosystem-based approaches. The NRT program activities will help to address the challenges facing Maine’s coastal communities, and are relevant to other natural resource dependent rural communities. This NRT will also benefit society by broadening participation in marine science through the recruitment of trainees from underrepresented groups and training a workforce that recognizes the full array of knowledge and tools available for ecosystem based management (EBM) and climate resilience. Project participants will contribute science and tools that local, state, tribal and federal resource managers can use to enable ecosystem-based responses to rapid ocean change and develop integrative data streams and tools that blend traditional and local ecological knowledge, existing fisheries and environmental science approaches, and new and emergent data streams. The capacity of scientists, environmental professionals, and other coastal community members will be strengthened as they are more fully prepared to engage in solutions-oriented science and stewardship. This NRT project anticipates training at least 45 graduate students (22 PhD, 23 MS) over 5 years, including 23 NSF-funded trainees (11 PhD, 12 MS).This NRT will encourage scholars from across the natural and social sciences to advance EBM knowledge and practice, while empowering community, tribal, and government partners to engage more deeply in ecosystem science and stewardship. EBM refers to place-based management of human interactions with marine species and ecosystems that contributes to the resilience and sustainability of the system; recognizes the reciprocal and multifaceted connections among people and other elements of the system, and seeks to achieve multiple societal goals. The NRT will develop and institutionalize a new curriculum and academic culture through coursework, community engagement, and collaborative research; build community and government capacity to contribute to EBM in Maine and beyond, create a novel model for engaging diverse trainees in place-based, solutions-oriented science, and develop ways of for integrating and communicating big data from computational science, ecology, genomics, oceanography, and the social sciences with traditional and local ecological knowledge to advance ecosystem science and improve stewardship of ocean systems. Through the convergence of local and traditional knowledge, fine-scale environmental and social data, and new and emerging data-driven methods, this NRT program will develop the intellectual frontier and applications of coastal marine ecosystem science in new ways. The team will generate and synthesize empirical information and develop and test theories deeply relevant to ecology, environmental governance, and socio-environmental systems science. Trainees will generate data, knowledge and tools directly relevant to the Maine Climate Action Plan’s climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The program is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.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.

NRT：面对快速海洋变化的生态系统科学：一种融合方法这项国家科学基金会研究实习生 (NRT) 奖授予缅因大学，将利用缅因湾的独特资源来培训下一代科学家、管理人员和技术人员。研究人员、学生和社区合作伙伴将生成、整合和应用跨学科知识，为应对快速海洋变化提供信息，项目参与者将开发理解和创建数据、知识和工具的新方法。那可以是NRT 计划活动将有助于解决缅因州沿海社区面临的挑战，并且与其他依赖自然资源的农村社区相关。该 NRT 还将通过招募人员扩大对海洋科学的参与，从而造福社会。来自代表性不足群体的学员和培训人员认识到可用于基于生态系统的管理（EBM）和气候复原力的全套知识和工具，项目参与者将贡献地方、州、部落和联邦资源管理者可以用来实现的科学和工具。基于生态系统的快速反应科学家、环境专业人员和其他沿海社区成员的能力将得到加强。该 NRT 项目预计在 5 年内培训至少 45 名研究生（22 名博士、23 名硕士），其中包括 23 名 NSF 资助的学员（11 名博士、12 名硕士）。 MS）。该 NRT 将鼓励自然科学和社会科学领域的学者推进 EBM 知识和实践，同时使社区、部落和政府合作伙伴能够更深入地参与生态系统科学和 EBM（基于地点的人类管理）。与海洋物种和生态系统的相互作用，有助于系统的恢复力和可持续性；认识到人类和系统其他要素之间的相互和多方面的联系，并力求实现多个社会目标。学术文化通过课程作业、社区参与和协作研究；建立社区和政府的能力，为缅因州及其他地区的循证医学做出贡献，创建一种新颖的模式，让不同的学员参与基于地点、以解决方案为导向的科学，并开发整合和交流大数据的方法来自计算科学、生态学、基因组学、海洋学和社会科学的数据与传统和当地生态知识的结合，通过当地和传统知识、精细环境和社会数据的融合，推进生态系统科学并改善海洋系统的管理。新兴数据驱动该 NRT 项目将以新的方式开发沿海海洋生态系统科学的知识前沿和应用，该团队将生成和综合经验信息，并开发和测试与生态学、环境治理和社会环境系统科学密切相关的理论。将生成与缅因州气候行动计划的气候减缓和适应战略直接相关的数据、知识和工具。 NSF 研究实习 (NRT) 计划旨在鼓励为 STEM 研究生教育培训开发和实施大胆的、具有潜在变革性的新模式。该计划致力于通过创新、循证并符合不断变化的劳动力和研究需求的综合培训模式，对高度优先的跨学科或融合研究领域的 STEM 研究生进行有效培训。该奖项的法定使命是通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
