Ten students will be recruited from across the United States to participate in a ten week summer program at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas (KU). The program is open to all undergraduate students, and summer stipends, room and board, travel, and financial support to help defray research costs are provided. During the ten-week program, each student will develop and carry out an independent research project that explores an important issue in ecology or evolutionary biology. Although most of these summer research experiences will be based at locations within the U.S., our REU program also offers the potential for an integrated international research experience through a cooperative arrangement with KU's Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Center. All students will also participate in common field trips, social activities, career discussions, weekly seminars, and other opportunities to present their research as it progresses. At the end of the ten-week session, the students will present their findings at a formal KU research symposium.Our students will live as a group in University housing, in close association with students from KU's other REU programs, in order to encourage interactions among students from different disciplines. This REU site is intended to enhance the undergraduate education and professional development of a diverse set of students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in a research experience. It is also intended to support individualized training for potential members of the next generation of U.S. researchers in the areas of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and to contribute to the enhancement of ethnic and cultural diversity in the sciences. Financial support is provided for our REU students to present their research at scientific meetings, and we will strongly encourage each student to submit their results for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Women and students from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. For more information, students should contact the site's Program Director, Dr. Val Smith ([e-mail] or [phone]), our Program Assistant, Sharon Green ([e-mail] or [phone]), or visit http://www.ku.edu/~reu/.

将从美国各地招募10名学生参加堪萨斯大学（KU）生态学和进化生物学系为期10周的暑期项目。 该计划向所有本科生开放，并提供夏季津贴，食宿，旅行和财政支持，以帮助支付研究费用。 在为期十周的课程中，每个学生将开发和开展一个独立的研究项目，探索生态学或进化生物学中的一个重要问题。 虽然这些夏季研究经验中的大多数将在美国境内的地点，我们的REU计划还通过与KU自然历史博物馆和生物多样性中心的合作安排，提供了综合国际研究经验的潜力。 所有学生还将参加共同的实地考察，社交活动，职业讨论，每周研讨会和其他机会，以展示他们的研究进展。 在为期十周的课程结束时，学生们将在正式的KU研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。我们的学生将作为一个小组住在大学宿舍，与KU其他REU项目的学生密切联系，以鼓励来自不同学科的学生之间的互动。 这个REU网站的目的是加强本科教育和专业发展的学生谁可能没有机会参与研究经验的多样化。 它还旨在支持对生态学和进化生物学领域的下一代美国研究人员的潜在成员进行个性化培训，并为加强科学中的种族和文化多样性做出贡献。 为我们的REU学生提供财政支持，在科学会议上展示他们的研究，我们将强烈鼓励每个学生提交他们的结果在同行评审的科学期刊上发表。 强烈鼓励代表性不足群体的妇女和学生申请。 欲了解更多信息，学生应联系该网站的节目总监，博士瓦尔史密斯（[e-mail]或（785）864-4565），我们的节目助理，沙龙绿色（[e-mail]或（785）864-5888），或访问http://www.ku.edu/~reu/。
