REU Site Proposal: Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE) at GA Tech

摘要：该奖项为位于乔治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院水生科学本科生研究体验（REU）项目提供资金。该项目每年夏天将支持9名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究项目。研究重点为水生化学生态学。预算包括支持学生津贴、住房、旅行和一些研究费用。该计划将包括学生的独立研究项目，参加系列讲座和实地考察。课程将以学生的口头报告和书面报告结束。学生将被鼓励在同行评议的期刊上发表文章，并参加夏季研究项目后的国家会议。该项目将尝试从当地高校招收学生，尤其是亚特兰大地区的HBCU和少数族裔学生。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。

Abstract:This award provides funding for a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site program in acquatic science at Georgia Institute of Technology, located in Atlanta, GA. The program will support nine students during a ten-week summer research program each summer. The research focus will be on aquatic chemical ecology. The budget includes support for student stipends, housing, travel and some research expenses. The program will include independent research projects by the students, participation in a lecture series, and field trips. It will conclude with student oral presentations and written reports. Students will be encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals and participate in national conferences following the summer research program. The PI will attempt to recruit students from local colleges and universities, particularly focusing recruitment efforts on HBCU's and minority students in the Atlanta area. The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
