The University of Missouri-Columbia proposes to organize the 2008 Principal Investigators (PI) meeting for two NSF/BIO programs: 1. Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology (UMEB) and 2. Undergraduate Research Mentoring in Biological Sciences(URM).Intellectual Merit: The goals for the PI meeting are to (1) share ideas for improving individual program implementation including student recruitment, development, tracking, and mentor training; (2) discuss assessment of program success; and (3) provide recommendations for future improvements of the UMEB / URM program at NSF. These goals will be accomplished through presentations and panel discussions by experts, through opportunities for group discussion and networking among site directors, and through a final report to NSF summarizing the workshop findings.Broader Impacts: The Organizing Committee and the PIs of this proposal will invite keynote speakers and workshop participants to address two themes important to the involvement of underrepresented students in UMEB/URM programs: encouraging cultural competency among UMEB/URM faculty and mentors: and recruiting underrepresented students on campuses hosting UMEB/URM sites.

密苏里-哥伦比亚大学提议为两个NSF/BIO项目组织2008年的主要研究者（PI）会议：1。环境生物学本科生导师（UMEB）和2。本科生研究指导生物科学（URM）。智力优点：PI会议的目标是（1）分享改善个人计划实施的想法，包括学生招聘，发展，跟踪和导师培训;（2）讨论计划成功的评估;（3）为NSF的UMEB / URM计划的未来改进提供建议。这些目标将通过专家的演讲和小组讨论，通过小组讨论和现场负责人之间的网络联系的机会，以及通过总结研讨会结果的最终报告给NSF来实现。更广泛的影响：组委会和本提案的PI将邀请主题演讲者和研讨会参与者来解决两个对UMEB/URM项目中代表性不足的学生参与很重要的主题：鼓励UMEB/URM教师和导师之间的文化能力：并在托管UMEB/URM网站的校园中招募代表性不足的学生。
