Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the Kellogg Biological Station.

9322378纽曼这个奖项提供资金，以建立一个研究经验的本科生网站在W。K.密歇根州立大学的凯洛格生物站。 该计划将为本科生提供参与生态领域研究综合计划的机会，这被认为是科学家教育的重要组成部分，具有解决复杂环境问题的技能。 学生将接触到的概念和技术，从各种子学科，生态组织水平（基因景观），规模和栖息地通过由居民和访问研究人员领导的每周研讨会。 每周小组会议将提供一个论坛，讨论研究思路和方法，生态学和进化生物学的概念方面，以及项目建议。 每个学生将在教师导师的指导下开发和进行独立项目，其中包括科学探究的所有阶段：问题的识别和细化，实验和抽样设计，实地工作以及数据分析和演示。 研究结果将在夏季结束时的REU研讨会上提交给KBS社区，并以手稿的形式在科学期刊上发表。 ***

9322378 Newman This award provides funds to establish a Research Experience for Undergraduates site at the W. K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) of Michigan State University. The program will provide undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in an integrative program in ecological field research, which is considered an essential part of the education of scientists with the skills to address complex environmental problems. Students will be exposed to concepts and techniques from a variety of subdisciplines, levels of ecological organization (genes to landscapes), scales, and habitats through weekly seminars led by resident and visiting researchers. Weekly group meetings will provide a forum to discuss research ideas and approaches, conceptual aspects of ecology and evolutionary biology, and project proposals. Each student will develop and conduct an independent project under the guidance of a faculty mentor, which will include all stages of scientific inquiry: identification and refinement of questions, experimental and sampling design, field work, and data analysis and presentation. Results will be presented to the KBS community at an REU symposium at the end of the summer, and written up in the form of a manuscript for publication in a scientific journal. ***
