9732138 The Savannah River Ecology Laboratory's (SREL) goal for its Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is to provide research experience, training, and career perspective for undergraduate students through the use of SREL's unique field sites and laboratory facilities, and through the association and active involvement in research with full-time research ecologists. Project participants 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, are paired with students having compatible research interests. Student projects, while distinct and independent, are portions of ongoing research programs of SREL. The student experience is enhanced by interaction with a programmatic team comprising individuals with a diversity of ecological backgrounds, interest, and ideas. Applicants from minority schools and regional institutions with limited research programs are 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 29 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.

9732138 萨凡纳河生态实验室 (SREL) 本科生研究经验计划的目标是通过使用 SREL 独特的现场和实验室设施，并通过与全职研究生态学家的联系和积极参与研究，为本科生提供研究经验、培训和职业前景。 项目参与者研究了核能和化石燃料能源生产的副产品对东南部生态系统选定的生物和化学特性的影响。 SREL 的教职人员都积极从事研究和出版工作，并与具有兼容研究兴趣的学生配对。 学生项目虽然独特且独立，但却是 SREL 正在进行的研究项目的一部分。 通过与由具有不同生态背景、兴趣和想法的个人组成的项目团队的互动，学生的体验得到了增强。 与往年一样，我们积极寻找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者。参与者的选择基于申请的质量、推荐信和学术记录。 通过过去 29 年对 500 多名本科生参与者的研究培训，SREL 创建了一个非常成功的学生/顾问互动项目。 前参与者的科学出版物和职业发展证明了该计划的成功。
