REU Site: Integrative Biology and Ecology of Marine Organisms

华盛顿大学获得了一项奖励，在2010年至2012年的夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该奖项还得到了地球科学理事会（GEO）海洋科学部（OCE）的支持。这种研究经验的目的是提高海洋素养和熟悉海洋环境的一个全方位的科学社区的框架内，将提供一个完整的职业生涯价值的支持和指导。华盛顿大学星期五海港实验室将为研究海洋生物的综合生物学和生态学提供一个极好的环境。实验室位于圣胡安岛，提供各种原始和受影响的潮间带和潮下栖息地，将作为学生项目的平台。从全国本科生中招募的参与者将利用这一沿海环境和实验室研究方法的多样性，从事真正的跨学科工作。该计划包括研究指导和成为生物学家所需工具的正式培训，包括伦理和负责任的研究行为、科学写作、演示和推广。在整个为期10周的项目中，学生们将在实验室进行一对一的研究，在此期间，他们还将参加旨在促进他们发展的练习。该计划的广泛影响在许多层面上：实验室将受益于这些充满活力的年轻人带来的新想法，该计划将使实验室对使用我们设施的研究人员更具吸引力。该项目将在实验室未被充分代表的少数族裔指导项目取得成功的基础上，为更多学生提供参与的机会。该项目的教育、职业发展和团队建设方面将被跟踪，以显示对学生参与者的持久影响，这些学生参与者将使用通用评估工具进行评估。请联系斯科特•施文格（schwinge@uw.edu）、亚当•萨默斯（fishguy@uw.edu）、艾米丽•卡灵顿（ecarring@uw.edu）了解更多信息。或者访问网站http://depts.washington.edu/fhl/REU.html。

An award was made to the University of Washington to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, for the summers of 2010-2012. This award is also supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO). This research experience is designed to increase ocean literacy and familiarity with the marine environment within the framework of an all encompassing scientific community that will offer a full career's worth of support and guidance. The University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories will offer an excellent environment in which to study the integrative biology and ecology of marine organisms. The labs are on San Juan Island and offer a variety of pristine and impacted intertidal and subtidal habitats that will serve as the platform for student projects. Participants recruited from the national pool of undergraduates will take advantage of this coastal environment and the diversity of research approaches at the labs to engage in truly interdisciplinary work. The program includes research mentoring and also formal training in the tools needed to become a biologist, including ethics and the responsible conduct of research, science writing, presentation, and outreach. Students are expected to engage in one-on-one research at the labs for the entire 10 week program, during which they will also participate in exercises designed to further their development. The broader impacts of this program are at many levels: the labs will benefit from these energetic young people bringing new ideas, and the program will make the labs more attractive to investigators using our facilities. This program will build on the success of the Laboratories' underrepresented minority mentoring program by offering more students an opportunity to participate. The educational, career development and team building aspects of the program will be tracked to show the lasting effects on student participants who will be assessed with a common assessment tool.
