0322375YoungThis Pan-American Advanced Institutes (PASI) award on the topic of amphibian population decline, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in La Selva, Costa Rica, in early January 2004. Organized by Dr. Bruce Young of NatureServe, the institute will involve approximately 30 students from the U.S. and Latin America and 15 well-known researchers as lecturers and mentors. The main goal is to increase understanding of current advances in research on amphibian population decline as well as identify needs for future research. The course will: 1) provide an up to date summary of current advances; 2) provide hands-on training in techniques necessary for studying the causes of amphibian declines; and 3) foster an environment of open communication among a cohort of students and senior researchers conducive to future collaboration. Results of the scientific program will be disseminated electronically on http://rana.biologia.ucr.ac.cr. By bringing together graduate/post-doc researchers with different cultural and biological backgrounds to focus on amphibian declines, the institute will help to satisfy a growing demand for training opportunities and, in the process, help to develop international collaborations in an important global concern.

这个由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）联合资助的关于两栖动物数量下降的泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖项将于2004年1月初在哥斯达黎加的La Selva举行。该研究所由自然保护区的布鲁斯·杨博士组织，将有大约30名来自美国和拉丁美洲的学生和15名知名研究人员担任讲师和导师。主要目标是增加对两栖动物种群减少研究的当前进展的了解，并确定未来研究的需求。该课程将：1)提供当前进展的最新总结；2)为研究两栖动物数量减少的原因提供必要的技术实践培训；3)在学生和资深研究人员之间营造一个有利于未来合作的开放式交流环境。科学方案的结果将在http://rana.biologia.ucr.ac.cr上以电子方式传播。通过将具有不同文化和生物学背景的研究生/博士后研究人员聚集在一起，专注于两栖动物的衰退，该研究所将有助于满足对培训机会日益增长的需求，并在此过程中，有助于在一个重要的全球关注方面发展国际合作。
