This REU program is a partnership of researchers at the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UHH) and government agencies conducting research on the Island of Hawaii (e.g., USGS-Biological Resources Division, US Forest Service). The Island of Hawaii, with its diversity and high representation of almost all ecological niches found in the archipelago, presents an excellent living laboratory in which to train future researchers. The goal of this REU program is to provide an exciting and challenging summer research experience for undergraduate students in the interdisciplinary field of conservation biology and prepare them for future careers in science. To increase the diversity of students entering this field, this program targets those students with limited research experience, first generation college students and under-represented minorities in science due to ethnicity and geographic isolation. The program entails a summer component and a continued effort during the academic year. Ten students will be selected for 10-week research experiences during the summer. The program will begin with a one-week orientation that will introduce the students to the university, research design and analysis, and report writing and presentation. The remaining nine weeks will consist of students working side by side with researchers on their projects. In addition, one day a week will involve lectures and field trips focused on different topics in conservation biology, sessions on statistics, report writing and presentation, and graduate school and career presentations. Students will complete a written research paper and make an oral presentation at the undergraduate research symposium.

该REU计划是夏威夷大学希洛分校（UHH）和在夏威夷岛进行研究的政府机构（例如，美国林务局生物资源司）。 夏威夷岛以其多样性和群岛中几乎所有生态位的高度代表性，为培养未来的研究人员提供了一个极好的生活实验室。该REU计划的目标是为保护生物学跨学科领域的本科生提供令人兴奋和具有挑战性的夏季研究经验，并为他们未来的科学职业做好准备。为了增加进入这一领域的学生的多样性，该计划针对那些研究经验有限的学生，第一代大学生和由于种族和地理隔离而在科学领域代表性不足的少数民族。该计划需要一个夏天的组成部分，并在学年持续努力。10名学生将被选中在夏季为期10周的研究经验。该计划将开始与一个为期一周的方向，将介绍学生到大学，研究设计和分析，报告写作和演示。 剩下的九周将由学生与研究人员一起完成他们的项目。此外，每周有一天将涉及讲座和实地考察，重点是保护生物学，统计学，报告写作和演示，以及研究生院和职业介绍的不同主题。学生将完成一份书面研究论文，并在本科生研究研讨会上作口头报告。更多信息可在www.example.com或联系沙龙齐格勒冲，电话808 - 933 - 0759，齐格勒@hawaii.edu。
