This award will support the participation of nine undergraduate students each year in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by the California Academy of Sciences' Summer Systematics Institute. The program is ten weeks long and recruitment on a national level will give emphasis to women and minority students in science. Each prospective intern would apply to work with an Academy curator on a research project. Successful applicants would take part in formal lectures in Systematic Biology, tours of each of the Academy's nine research departments and research seminars in systematic biology by scientists from outside the Academy. Students would work on directed programs circumscribed so that an introduction to the problem and organisms to be studied, as well as data collection, interpretation and dissemination can be accomplished. Each student will produce a manuscript of the project's results in the form of a scientific paper and will make an oral presentation of his/her results to peers. Evaluations of interns and participating Academy staff will be conducted each year to fine-tune/improve the program for subsequent years. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in systematic biology. It will also help to inform young citizens about issues related to biological diversity and its preservation.

该奖项将支持每年9名本科生参加由加州科学院夏季系统学研究所提供的本科生研究经验计划。 该计划为期十周，在国家一级的招聘将侧重于科学领域的妇女和少数民族学生。 每个未来的实习生都将申请与学院馆长一起从事一个研究项目。 成功申请者将参加系统生物学的正式讲座，图尔斯参观学院九个研究部门，以及由学院以外的科学家参加系统生物学研究研讨会。 学生将在有针对性的程序限制，以便介绍要研究的问题和生物体，以及数据收集，解释和传播可以完成。 每个学生将以科学论文的形式制作项目结果的手稿，并将向同行口头介绍他/她的结果。 每年将对实习生和参与学院工作人员进行评估，以微调/改进随后几年的计划。 该奖项将促进个人的继续教育和培训，他们将成为下一代系统生物学基础研究人员的一部分。 它还将有助于向青年公民宣传与生物多样性及其保护有关的问题。
