This award provides funds to continue a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Ten undergraduate students per year for three years, will be supported to participate in research focusing on field biology studies. The RMBL has a strong tradition of field research and education, and has been providing undergraduate research opportunities for 64 years. Each student will attend the RMBL for 10 weeks. Guidance will be provided in scientific design, project selection and initiation, and project completion. A ratio of one supervising research mentor for each student will be maintained. Students will be encouraged to participate in the many research opportunities available at the RMBL, such as formal and informal seminars, interactions with visiting scientists, and exposure to all levels of a field biology community. The intellectual progress of each student will be monitored carefully by the Program Coordinator and by each research mentor, as the summer proceeds and students move from relative dependence to relative independence in their research pursuits. The RMBL is particularly proud of its success in educating women interested in field biology, and in attracting senior female scientists. Plans for increasing minority student participation are included in this award.

该奖项提供资金，以继续在落基山生物实验室为本科生提供成功的研究经验。每年十名本科生，为期三年，将被支持参加以野外生物学研究为重点的研究。RMBL有着深厚的实地研究和教育传统，多年来一直为提供本科生研究机会。每名学生将参加为期10周的人民币贷款。在科学设计、项目选择和启动、项目竣工等方面提供指导。每名学生有一名指导研究导师的比例将维持不变。学生将被鼓励参加RMBL提供的许多研究机会，例如正式和非正式的研讨会，与来访的科学家的互动，以及接触到各个级别的野外生物学社区。每个学生的智力进步将由项目协调员和每个研究导师仔细监测，随着暑假的进行，学生在他们的研究追求上从相对依赖转向相对独立。RMBL特别自豪的是，它成功地教育了对野外生物学感兴趣的女性，并吸引了资深女性科学家。增加少数族裔学生参与的计划也包括在该奖项中。
