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.

REU 为位于纽约州纽约市的美国自然历史博物馆 (AMNH) 提供的场地奖励将在 2023 年至 2025 年夏季期间支持 12 名学生为期 10 周的培训，预计总共 36 名学生。主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体，将接受该项目的培训，“21世纪的系统学和进化生物学”，旨在建设研究能力并加强技能。参与的学生将发展生物科学领域，以实现整个学科的多元化。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将通过项目评估在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。在线 SALG URSSA 工具将在课程结束后对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。REU 课程的主题是系统学和进化，学生将接受实验室和现场技术、分析方法以及科学传播方面的指导。和合作。学生将有兴趣的学生将在 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-导师匹配上。学生研究项目将涵盖系统学的各个导师领域。从描述性分类学到群体基因组学、语言学和系统基因组学的学科；学生将学习收集不同类型的新生物学和古生物学数据，并获得先进的形态学、分子和计算方法的经验。通过每周的讲座和培训课程以及关于道德和负责任的科学行为的研讨会，我们将进一步了解博物馆作为时间和空间多样性管理者的角色和责任。可以通过访问https://www.amnh.org/research/richard-gilder-graduate-school/academics/fellowship-and-grant-opportunities/undergraduate-fellowships/reu-biology-program，或联系 PI（Jessica Ware 博士） ，[e-mail]）或联合 PI（Cheryl Hayashi 博士，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被视为值得通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
