The Institute of Ecosystem Studies (IES) will offer an undergraduate research opportunity through the Ecology in Context program. Ten students will be selected to join the unique IES research community to carry out cutting-edge investigations of their own design, working closely with a mentor scientist. The program emphasizes the community nature of the scientific enterprise. As participants design and complete their independent research projects they consult with other scientists, present their plans for critique, and then speak in the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and write a paper for the peer-reviewed on-line IES Occasional Publication. The program provides students many opportunities to reflect upon and think about the process of science and its place in the world, and to develop their skills in doing science. Through a case study of a regional environmental issue, a career forum, and a day spent teaching high school students from a nearby city; students explore the social, political, intellectual and personal dimensions of being an ecologist. The twelve-week program is open to undergraduate freshmen, sophomores, juniors or first semester seniors. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its possessions. Participants receive a stipend, a meal allowance, free housing, and assistance with travel to and from the program.

生态系统研究所（IES）将通过环境生态学计划提供本科生研究机会。十名学生将被选中加入独特的IES研究社区，与导师科学家密切合作，对自己的设计进行前沿调查。该计划强调科学企业的社区性质。当参与者设计和完成他们的独立研究项目时，他们会与其他科学家进行磋商，提出他们的批评计划，然后在年度本科生研究研讨会上发言，并为同行评审的在线IES偶尔出版物撰写论文。该计划为学生提供了许多机会来反思和思考科学的过程及其在世界上的地位，并发展他们在做科学的技能。通过一个区域环境问题的案例研究，职业论坛，和一天花在附近城市的高中生教学;学生探索作为一个生态学家的社会，政治，智力和个人层面。为期12周的课程对本科新生、大三学生、大三学生或大四第一学期学生开放。申请人必须是美国或其属地的公民或永久居民。参与者获得津贴，膳食津贴，免费住房，并协助往返该计划。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//www.ecostudies.org/reu.html，或联系石楠L。达尔（协调员），电话：[phone] x326或[e-mail]。
