0623583WallerThis IRES project will provide U.S. graduate students from the University of Wisconsin at Madison funds to spend six months conducting research in Montpellier, France at Ecole Nationale Superieure Agronomique de Montpellier (Agro-M) or associated French research labs run by INRA, CNRS, CIRAD, or IRD. The proposal will fund three U.S. graduate students per year to spend one semester in Montpellier over a three-year period. Students will conduct research on biological and social science approaches to environmental issues and their scientific and political solutions. Two faculty members from UW will also visit Montpellier for 18 days each year to strengthen ties and facilitate collaborative research projects. This partnership between the University of Wisconsin Madison and Agro-M will leverage funding already supplied by the FACE program of the French Embassy in DC. Intellectual MeritThe graduate students who will be funded by this award will conduct research in areas related to conservation science and environmental issues such as the effects of landscape changes on regional biota; molecular genetics of plant symbioses; phylogenetic statistics; policy, politics, and management of peri-urban land development; linking climate change to changes in land-cover; linking public health to deforestation in the Amazon; the effects of global warning on plant physiology and species ranges; and global environmental governance in cross-cultural perspective.Broader ImpactsSupport is provided for nine U.S. graduate students to conduct research in France for an entire semester, thus providing a group of U.S. students with substantial international research experiences that will prepare them to operate successfully in a global environment. The linkages created by their visits will support lasting international collaboration. Two U.S. faculty will also be able to visit collaborators in France at Agro-M and the associated labs for shorter periods of time to strengthen their research ties and ensure that the U.S. students who visit are taking advantage of the resources in Montpellier in an optimal way. The principal investigators will utilize programs at the University of Wisconsin geared towards supporting students with disabilities, students from under-represented minority groups, and women, to make sure they recruit a broad spectrum of participants.

0623583 Waller这个IRES项目将为来自威斯康星州大学麦迪逊分校的美国研究生提供资金，让他们在法国蒙彼利埃国立蒙彼利埃农学院（Agro-M）或由INRA、CNRS、CIRAD或IRD运营的相关法国研究实验室进行为期六个月的研究。 该提案将每年资助三名美国研究生在三年内在蒙彼利埃度过一个学期。 学生将进行生物和社会科学方法的研究，以环境问题及其科学和政治解决方案。 来自UW的两名教师每年还将访问蒙彼利埃18天，以加强联系并促进合作研究项目。 威斯康星州麦迪逊和农业M大学之间的这种伙伴关系将利用法国驻华盛顿大使馆的FACE计划已经提供的资金。 智力优势谁将由该奖项资助的研究生将在保护科学和环境问题，如景观变化对区域生物区系的影响进行研究;植物共生的分子遗传学;系统发育统计;政策，政治和城市周边土地开发的管理;气候变化与土地覆盖变化的联系;公共卫生与亚马逊森林砍伐的联系;全球变暖对植物生理和物种范围的影响;以及跨文化视角下的全球环境治理。更广泛的影响为9名美国研究生提供了一个学期的研究支持，从而为一群美国学生提供了大量的国际研究经验，使他们能够在全球环境中成功运作。 他们的访问所建立的联系将支持持久的国际合作。 两名美国教师还将能够在较短的时间内访问法国Agro-M和相关实验室的合作者，以加强他们的研究联系，并确保访问的美国学生以最佳方式利用蒙彼利埃的资源。 主要研究人员将利用威斯康星州大学的项目，支持残疾学生、代表性不足的少数群体学生和妇女，以确保他们招募到广泛的参与者。
