This award will support an international workshop, July 25 thru Aug 1, 2008 at The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS), Las Cruces Biological Station (LCBS) located in San Jose, Costa Rica. Co-organized by Dr. Rakan Zahawi, Director of LCBS and Dr. David Morales from Fundacion Neotropica, Costa Rica, the workshop will be a combination of lectures, field excursions to view research projects, and panel discussions. Panels will focus on discussions of past research on tropical forest restoration ecology in the region and globally, coordinating research among PIs, developing collaborations, and prioritizing future research directions. The workshop is expected to attract more than 50 participants, including students (U.S. and Costa Rican) who will be exposed to current issues in restoration ecology through hands-on learning in the field, as well as through lectures, poster sessions, and panel discussions. Fifteen undergraduate students from the NSF-funded Native American and Pacific Islander Research Experience (NAPIRE) program will participate in the workshop. Many of the workshop participants have ongoing research projects in the region and some have addressed similar questions elsewhere in Costa Rica or elsewhere in the world which will provide for a broader perspective and build new collaborations. This workshop is expected to further the science of tropical forest restoration ecology, and impact education and enhance regional conservation planning.

该奖项将用于支持2008年7月25日至8月1日在位于哥斯达黎加圣何塞的拉斯克鲁塞斯生物站（LCBS）的热带研究组织（OTS）举办的国际研讨会。 该研讨会由LCBS主任Rakan Zahawi博士和来自哥斯达黎加丰达西翁基金会的大卫莫拉莱斯博士共同组织，将结合讲座、实地考察研究项目和小组讨论。 小组将重点讨论过去在该地区和全球的热带森林恢复生态学研究，协调PI之间的研究，发展合作，并优先考虑未来的研究方向。该研讨会预计将吸引50多名与会者，包括学生（美国和哥斯达黎加）谁将通过实地动手学习，以及通过讲座，海报会议和小组讨论接触到当前的问题在恢复生态。 来自NSF资助的美国原住民和太平洋岛民研究经验（NAPIRE）计划的15名本科生将参加研讨会。讲习班的许多参加者在该区域有正在进行的研究项目，有些参加者在哥斯达黎加其他地方或世界其他地方处理了类似的问题，这将提供更广阔的视角并建立新的合作。 预计该讲习班将进一步促进热带森林恢复生态学，影响教育和加强区域保护规划。
