This award will support the participation of 12 undergraduate students each year in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) of the University of Georgia. This program, which encompasses 12 weeks each summer, allows the students to gain research experience, training and career perspective through the use of the unique field sites and laboratory facilities as well as through association with full-time research ecologists. Project participants will examine the influence of by-products from nuclear and fossil fuel energy production on selected biological and chemical properties in southeastern ecosystems. SREL faculty members, all actively engaged in research and publication, will be paired with students having compatible research interests. Student projects, while distinct and independent, are portions of on-going research programs of SREL. The student experience is enhanced by interaction with a programmatic team comprised of individuals with a diversity of ecological backgrounds, interests, and ideas. Applicants from minority schools and regional institutions with limited research programs will continue to be actively sought and encouraged, as in previous years. Participant selection is based upon the quality of an application, letters of recommendation, and academic record. Through the research training of more than 500 undergraduate participants over the past 27 years, SREL has created a highly successful program of student/advisor interaction. Scientific publication and career development of former participants attest to the success of the program. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in ecology and help to produce citizens informed about various aspects of environmental sciences, management, and decision making in environmental issues.

该奖项每年将支持12名本科生参加由乔治亚大学萨凡纳河生态实验室（SREL）提供的本科生研究经验项目。该项目每年夏季为期12周，通过使用独特的野外场地和实验室设施，以及与全职研究生态学家合作，让学生获得研究经验、培训和职业前景。项目参与者将审查核能和矿物燃料能源生产的副产品对东南生态系统中选定的生物和化学特性的影响。SREL的教师都积极从事研究和出版，将与有共同研究兴趣的学生配对。学生项目是SREL正在进行的研究项目的一部分，虽然它们是不同的和独立的。通过与具有不同生态背景、兴趣和想法的个人组成的程序化团队的互动，学生的体验得到增强。与前几年一样，将继续积极寻求和鼓励来自少数民族学校和研究项目有限的地区机构的申请人。参与者的选择是基于申请，推荐信和学习成绩的质量。在过去的27年里，通过对500多名本科生的研究培训，SREL创建了一个非常成功的学生/导师互动项目。前参与者的科学出版物和职业发展证明了该计划的成功。该奖项将促进个人的继续教育和培训，这些个人将成为下一代生态学基础研究人员的一部分，并帮助培养了解环境科学、管理和环境问题决策各个方面的公民。
