Oregon State University will offer undergraduates in biological sciences the opportunity to conduct comparative research in pollination biology in natural and manipulated ecosystems beginning summer 2009. During the 10-week program, each student will conduct an individual research project comparing native bee pollinator diversity and dynamic mutualistic interactions with local flora, at three ecologically diverse habitats. Participants will receive initial training on the main campus in Corvallis on research skills related to pollination biology, and on professional development as scientists. Prior to implementing their independent research project, undergraduates will learn about bees, flowers, and habitat diversity, and become skilled in identification of local bees and flowers. Professional development opportunities include gaining experience in grant writing and scientific communication. During the tenth week, participants will present their research results to a general audience at a Pollination Biology Conference. Nine students will be selected from the application pool for participation in the summer program. Applications from members of underrepresented groups are encouraged. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and its territories.

俄勒冈州立大学将从2009年夏季开始为生物科学本科生提供机会，在自然生态系统和人工生态系统中进行授粉生物学的比较研究。在为期10周的项目中，每个学生将进行一个单独的研究项目，比较三个生态多样性不同的栖息地的本地蜜蜂传粉者的多样性以及与当地植物的动态互惠互动。参与者将在科瓦利斯的主校园接受与授粉生物学相关的研究技能以及作为科学家的职业发展的初步培训。在实施自主研究项目之前，本科生将学习蜜蜂、花卉和栖息地多样性的知识，并熟练地识别当地的蜜蜂和花卉。职业发展机会包括获得拨款撰写和科学交流方面的经验。在第十周，参与者将在授粉生物学会议上向普通观众展示他们的研究成果。将从申请池中挑选9名学生参加暑期计划。鼓励代表人数不足的群体成员提出申请。申请者必须是美国公民或美国及其领土的永久居民。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://oregonstate.edu/~raos/，或联系Sujaya Rao。
