9317449 Crane This program targets undergraduate biology students, particularly minorities, and is designed to direct them toward advanced training and careers in environmental biology. Student participants will be recruited from predominantly minority colleges and universities in the area (e.g. Chicago State University), from the pool of minority students already affiliated with programs at the Museum, and from major research universities in the local area (e.g. University of Chicago). Students will be involved in an intensive program consisting of two phases. In phase one, with funding from the Field Museum, students will be trained in organismal biology and systematic and collection management techniques. The focus of this work is the analysis of biodiversity. During the second phase, students working closely with a research scientist mentor will create and carry out their own research projects, prepare the results for publication and present them to the participant group. The Field Museum is a center for regional research, and students will have access to facilities at the Brookfield Zoo, The University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University. In parallel with this academic program the program will also implement a variety of mentoring and advisory activities to ensure that all student derive maximum benefit from their experience and receive appropriate guidance and encouragement on personal and career development.

9317449 Crane该项目面向本科生，特别是少数民族学生，旨在引导他们进行环境生物学方面的高级培训和职业生涯。学生参与者将从该地区以少数族裔为主的学院和大学(例如芝加哥州立大学)、从已经与博物馆项目有关联的少数族裔学生池中以及从当地主要的研究型大学(例如芝加哥大学)招募。学生们将参与一个由两个阶段组成的密集课程。在第一阶段，在菲尔德博物馆的资助下，学生将接受生物生物学以及系统和藏品管理技术方面的培训。这项工作的重点是生物多样性的分析。在第二阶段，学生将与研究科学家导师密切合作，创建和开展他们自己的研究项目，准备发表结果，并将它们提交给参与者小组。菲尔德博物馆是一个区域研究中心，学生们将可以使用布鲁克菲尔德动物园、芝加哥大学、伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校和西北大学的设施。在这项学术计划的同时，该计划还将实施各种指导和咨询活动，以确保所有学生从他们的经验中获得最大的好处，并在个人和职业发展方面得到适当的指导和鼓励。
