This award provides funds to the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Tulsa to help train undergraduate students in the philosophy, mechanics, and execution of scientific research. This project will enhance an already strong program in undergraduate research participation, and will extend this program into the summer. Another goal is to enhance opportunities for participation in scientific research for members of underrepresented groups. The Undergraduate Summer Research Program will consist of a research workshop, independent research projects, weekly group meetings, invited speakers, and a research colloquium. The research workshop will introduce the students to the philosophy and mechanics of the various fields in biology represented by the participating faculty. One result of the workshop will be the development by each student of an individual research project. These projects will focus on nectivore foraging ecology, plant reproductive ecology, vertebrate reproductive physiology, or reproductive behavioral ecology. The students will complete their projects over the course of the summer. The weekly group meetings will provide a forum for review of literature, progress reports on research projects, and for solving problems that arise during the course of the projects. The invited speakers will expose the students to a wider variety of viewpoints in biology than is available through the participating faculty. Finally, students will communicate the results of their projects and experience critical peer review through the research colloquium.

该奖项为生物科学系提供资金 在塔尔萨大学帮助培养本科生， 科学研究的哲学、力学和执行。 该项目将加强一个已经强大的计划， 本科研究参与，并将延长这一计划 一直到夏天 另一个目标是增加机会， 参与科学研究的情况 代表性不足的群体。 本科生暑期研究计划 将包括一个研究讲习班，独立的研究项目， 每周的小组会议，特邀演讲者和研究座谈会。 研究工作坊将向学生介绍哲学 和力学的各个领域在生物学所代表的 参与教师 研讨会的成果之一将是 每个学生都有自己的研究项目。 这些项目将侧重于食蜜动物觅食生态，植物 生殖生态学，脊椎动物生殖生理学，或 生殖行为生态学 学生将完成他们的 项目在整个夏天。 每周小组会议 将提供一个论坛，审查文献、进展报告， 研究项目，并解决出现的问题， 项目的过程。 受邀演讲者将展示 学生在生物学上的观点比 可通过参与的教师。 最后，学生 将交流他们的项目结果和经验 通过研究座谈会进行严格的同行审查。
