REU Site: Field Research in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory

落基山生物实验室（RMBL）获得了本科生研究经验（REU）站点奖，该实验室将在2013- 2017年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。项目集中于需要大量实地考察的生态和进化问题。根据导师的不同，项目可能是跨学科的（例如，将野外地质学或分子技术与野外生物学结合起来）。学生们在大约25名科学家的指导下进行独立研究，并可以访问从沙漠栖息地到山顶的各种野外地点。学生们还参加一系列旨在帮助他们成为活跃的科学家的活动，如参加人民币大学系列研讨会，参加期刊俱乐部，以及涉及负责任的研究行为和职业发展的会议。参与者参加关于如何进行研究项目的会议，包括实验设计和统计、准备提案、口头报告和撰写科学论文。人民币大学通过其网站和美国国家科学基金会网站，以及美国各地高校的教师和校友积极招生，以数字方式招收学生。学生的选择是基于经济需求、项目对学生的潜在影响、科学前景和对实地项目的兴趣。通过优先选择在科学领域代表性不足的种族的学生，人民币积极致力于扩大在科学领域的代表性。跟踪学生，以确定他们对学术研究领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经历的持久影响。通过REU通用评估工具以及来自纵向跟踪的数据对该计划进行评估。欲了解更多信息，请访问rmbl.org/education，或联系RMBL？科学主任，Jennifer Reithel博士，sd@rmbl.org。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) that will provide research training for 10 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2013- 2017. Projects are focused on ecological and evolutionary questions requiring significant fieldwork. Depending upon the mentors, projects may be interdisciplinary in nature (e.g. integrating field geology or molecular techniques with field biology. Students conduct independent research under one of RMBL's approximately 25 scientists, with access to a diversity of field sites, ranging from desert habitat to mountaintops. Students also participate in a range of activities designed to help them become active scientists, such as attending RMBL seminar series, participating in a journal club, and sessions involving the responsible conduct of research and career development. Participants attend sessions on how to conduct a research project, including sessions on experimental design and statistics, preparing proposals, giving oral presentations, and writing scientific papers. RMBL recruits students digitally, through its website and the NSF website, as well as through active recruitment by faculty and alumni at colleges and universities throughout the US. Students are selected based upon financial need, potential impact of the program on the student, scientific promise and demonstrated interest in doing a field project. RMBL actively works to expand representation in the sciences by prioritizing selection of students of ethnicities that are underrepresented in the sciences. Students are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. The program is assessed through the REU common assessment tool, as well as data from the longitudinal tracking.
