项目摘要

9815011HartshornThis proposal will fund travel, subsistence expenses, publications and other administrative expenses for 14 undergraduate students to participate in a research oriented tropical biology program to take place at the Organization of Tropical Studies, (OTS), Costa Rica, under the auspices of Duke University. The award, that will fund approximately a third of the total participants, will allow undergraduate students from economically disadvantaged and underrepresented populations to participate in the project. They will be interacting with senior scientists and researchers, and will be exposed to hands-on learning in field-oriented research. This will allow the students the opportunity to be introduced to a diversity of tropical habitats, both natural and disturbed, the scientific principles that guide current research in tropical ecology, a variety of research techniques, and the representative environmental challenges facing developing tropical nations. Costa Rica is an ideal place for this activity because of the astonishing richness of ecosystems and biodiversity. The goal of this activity is to improve the number and diversity of undergraduate students being provided with a quality tropical biology experience. Support from NSF will be an instrumental component in the effort to attract promising students to tropical ecology and to become familiar with development and conservation issues in the international arena. ***

9815011 hartshorn本提案将资助14名本科生参加由杜克大学赞助的哥斯达黎加热带研究组织（OTS）的热带生物学研究项目的旅费、生活费、出版物和其他行政费用。该奖项将资助大约三分之一的参与者，将允许来自经济弱势和代表性不足人群的本科生参与该项目。他们将与资深科学家和研究人员互动，并将在面向领域的研究中接触到实践学习。这将使学生有机会了解热带栖息地的多样性，包括自然的和受干扰的，指导当前热带生态学研究的科学原理，各种研究技术，以及发展中热带国家面临的代表性环境挑战。哥斯达黎加是开展这一活动的理想地点，因为它拥有丰富的生态系统和生物多样性。这项活动的目标是提高本科生的数量和多样性，为他们提供高质量的热带生物学体验。国家科学基金会的支持将是吸引有前途的学生研究热带生态学和熟悉国际舞台上的发展和保护问题的重要组成部分。＊＊＊
