This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). An award was made to the University of Michigan to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 undergraduate students per year, for the summers of 2011-2012. Students will participate in either laboratory or field studies in the general areas of ecology and evolutionary biology on the University of Michigan campus or at faculty research sites. In this program, faculty and advanced graduate students in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology will be paired with individual students and guide them through the process of developing a research project. During their training, students will carry out required laboratory or field work, write up a final report and present their results at a symposium held in August at the University of Michigan. Subject matter may range from, for example, field work on changing mammal distributions in northern Michigan to the mathematical modeling of the expansion of malaria due to global warming, depending on student interest and availability of specific mentors. In addition, students will attend a workshop dedicated to training in scientific ethics and the responsible conduct of research. First and second year students will be recruited especially from minority-serving institutions through mass mailings and web advertising. Student progress will be continually assessed by the mentor and an advisory committee over web-based conferencing during the active phase of the research, and a final evaluation of the program will be conducted at the close of the summer session each year. An important goal of the program is to increase diversity in ecology and evolutionary biology, and the program will emphasize the promotion of connections among students underrepresented in biology, thereby furthering the development of a diverse graduate student community and research faculty For further information contact John Vandermeer ([e-mail]), Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, or visit http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eeb/undergraduates/reu.html.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。 2011-2012年夏季，向密歇根大学颁发了一项奖金，每年为10名本科生提供为期10周的研究培训。 学生将在密歇根大学校园或教师研究地点参加生态学和进化生物学一般领域的实验室或实地研究。 在这个程序中，教师和先进的研究生在生态学和进化生物学系将与个别学生配对，并指导他们通过开发一个研究项目的过程。在培训期间，学生将进行必要的实验室或现场工作，撰写最终报告，并在8月在密歇根大学举行的研讨会上展示他们的结果。 主题范围可以从例如改变密歇根州北方哺乳动物分布的实地工作到由于全球变暖而导致的疟疾扩张的数学建模，这取决于学生的兴趣和特定导师的可用性。 此外，学生将参加一个专门培训科学道德和负责任的研究行为的研讨会。 一年级和二年级的学生将通过大量邮寄和网络广告，特别是从为少数群体服务的机构中招募。 在研究的活跃阶段，导师和咨询委员会将通过基于网络的会议不断评估学生的进步，并将在每年夏季会议结束时对该计划进行最终评估。 该计划的一个重要目标是增加生态学和进化生物学的多样性，该计划将强调促进生物学中代表性不足的学生之间的联系，从而进一步促进多样化研究生社区和研究人员的发展有关进一步信息，请联系John Vandermeer（[e-mail]），密歇根大学生态学和进化生物学系，或访问http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eeb/undergraduates/reu.html。
