This award is funded by the Divisions of Biological Infrastructure and Earth Sciences at NSF. This interdisciplinary REU Site Program at the Sevilleta LTER in central New Mexico will train ten undergraduate students who will conduct independent research under the guidance of UNM faculty in Biology and Earth and Planetary Sciences. The summer program includes a seminar series, a journal club, an annual symposium, professional development workshops, ethics training, and fieldtrips. Students will conduct independent research at the Sevilleta, and present results at the annual research symposium. They will also attend a weekly seminar and journal club, and interact with visiting scientists. The program includes faculty in ecology, the geosciences, and meteorology. The LTER site provides a venue for close interactions among students, faculty, and graduate students. Students will have numerous opportunities to share ideas and explore issues within and across disciplines. A goal is to increase the number of students, particularly underrepresented minorities, pursuing careers in bio-geosciences. The program will provide exposure to a large, multidisciplinary research program, inspire students to continue into professional careers, and prepare students for the rigors of graduate school, professional research, and responsible citizenship. The program exemplifies the integration of research and education. As students conduct research, they will learn how to be a scientist, along with many technical, methodological and ethical issues that arise in scientific research.

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。在新墨西哥州中部的Sevilleta LTER，这个跨学科的REU站点项目将培训10名本科生，他们将在新墨西哥州大学生物学、地球和行星科学教员的指导下进行独立研究。暑期计划包括研讨会系列、期刊俱乐部、年度研讨会、职业发展研讨会、道德培训和实地考察。学生将在塞维莱塔进行独立研究，并在年度研究研讨会上展示结果。他们还将参加每周一次的研讨会和期刊俱乐部，并与来访的科学家互动。该项目包括生态学、地球科学和气象学方面的教员。LTER网站为学生、教师和研究生之间提供了一个密切互动的场所。学生们将有许多机会在学科内和学科之间交流想法和探索问题。一个目标是增加从事生物地球科学职业的学生数量，特别是人数较少的少数民族。该计划将提供一个大型的，多学科的研究项目，激励学生继续从事专业生涯，并为学生为严酷的研究生院、专业研究和负责任的公民做好准备。该项目体现了研究与教育的融合。随着学生进行研究，他们将学习如何成为一名科学家，以及科学研究中出现的许多技术、方法和伦理问题。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://sev.lternet.edu/REU或联系国际组织、Scott Collins博士([e-mail])或REU项目经理([e-mail])。
