This award is funded by the Divisions of Biological Infrastructure and Earth Sciences at NSF. Plymouth State University, in cooperation with the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation, Hubbard Brook scientists, and the U.S. Forest Service, is offering a unique summer research experience at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The program emphasizes the societal relevance of ecology and ecosystem science and is designed to appeal to students interested in the interpretation and communication of science to the broader society. The program is designed for students interested in using science to address environmental issues, as well as those pursuing careers in resource management, teaching, and applied environmental science. Eight students will be selected for a 10-week study in one of four areas of ecosystem research (animal ecology; biogeochemistry; hydrology and soils; forest vegetation and carbon cycling). The program focuses on both independent research and the communication of science to lay audiences. The independent research portion is done by pairing each student with a team of mentors working on a topic within one of the four themes. The science communication track focuses on a relationship between the student researcher and an outside organization (ex., NGO) which desires an interpretation of ecosystem science information from the students' areas of study. Participants receive a stipend, a meal allowance, free housing, a small research budget, and assistance with travel.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会生物基础设施和地球科学部资助。普利茅斯州立大学与哈伯德·布鲁克研究基金会、哈伯德·布鲁克科学家和美国林业局合作，在新罕布夏州怀特山的哈伯德·布鲁克实验森林提供独特的夏季研究体验。该计划强调生态学和生态系统科学的社会相关性，旨在吸引对科学的解释和交流感兴趣的学生到更广泛的社会。该项目面向对利用科学解决环境问题感兴趣的学生，以及那些在资源管理、教学和应用环境科学领域寻求职业生涯的学生。8名学生将被选中参加为期10周的生态系统研究四个领域之一的学习(动物生态学；生物地球化学；水文学和土壤；森林植被和碳循环)。该节目既专注于独立研究，也专注于向非专业观众传播科学。独立研究部分是通过将每个学生与一个导师团队配对来完成的，这些导师在四个主题中的一个主题上工作。科学交流轨道侧重于学生研究人员与外部组织(例如非政府组织)之间的关系，该组织希望从学生的学习领域获得生态系统科学信息的解释。参与者获得津贴、膳食津贴、免费住房、小额研究预算和旅行援助。欲了解更多信息，请访问www.hubbardbrookreu.org，或联系凯文·麦奎尔，电话：603-3250，电子邮件：[e-mail]，或蒂姆·费希，电话：607-255-5470，电子邮件：[e-mail]。
