This award will establish an REU site in the Science and Technology Department at Peru State College. The REU site will: 1) provide scientific research training to undergraduate biology students in a small rural college (FTE = 1,500), 2) integrate students with established scientists who will be involved in implementing student research projects, and 3) further the scientific knowledge of biosystematics and evolutionary theory. Eight undergraduate students were selected to work on research projects. The areas of research to be examined by students are insect chemosystematics, insect morphometrics, central and marginal population theory, and classical taxonomy. These projects were selected to give all student participants a full range of exposure to the multifaceted disciplines of science. Individual research protocols were developed by the principal investigator and faculty associate in conjunction with the students working within this program. Each student is responsible for the planning of experiments to be conducted. In addition, seven research advisors from other colleges and universities will work with students during the final planning, data gathering, and data analysis stages of this project. The goal of this undergraduate research program is to involve students from the planning stage through the completion and publication of results.

该奖项将在秘鲁州立学院科学和技术系建立一个可再生能源大学网站。REU网站将：1）提供科学研究培训本科生物学学生在一个小的农村学院（FTE = 1,500），2）整合学生与既定的科学家谁将参与实施学生的研究项目，和3）进一步的生物系统学和进化理论的科学知识。八名本科生被选中从事研究项目。学生要研究的领域是昆虫化学系统学、昆虫形态计量学、中心和边缘种群理论以及经典分类学。选择这些项目是为了让所有学生参与者全面接触科学的多方面学科。个人研究方案由首席研究员和教师助理与在该计划中工作的学生一起开发。每个学生都有责任规划要进行的实验。此外，来自其他学院和大学的七名研究顾问将在该项目的最终规划，数据收集和数据分析阶段与学生合作。这个本科研究计划的目标是让学生从规划阶段参与到结果的完成和出版中。
