A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Boise State University that will provide research training for 8 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2014- 2016. This REU program is supported by the NSF's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), and the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO REU program).This program engages undergraduates in field and laboratory research with a thematic focus of Raptor Research. The juxtaposition of Boise State University?s Raptor Research Center (RRC), The Peregrine Fund (TPF), Idaho Bird Observatory (IBO), numerous state and federal natural resource agencies, and the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA) makes Boise, Idaho a hub for exciting and important raptor research. REU students conduct basic and applied research using raptors as focal organisms and participate in a core program that includes instruction on the biology of diurnal and nocturnal raptors, workshops on endangered species propagation, and development focused on responsible conduct of research, career planning, and scientific communication. The program culminates with an interdisciplinary student research conference that provides participants the opportunity to communicate their research to a diverse audience of students, faculty, scientists, and lay people. Weekly seminars and other activities provide for regular student-mentor and student-student interaction, and REU students become part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Community at Boise State University, joining undergraduate research students from numerous STEM disciplines. Recruitment occurs via digital and print media, and students from groups underrepresented in science and from institutions with limited opportunities for research are targeted during recruiting efforts. Students are selected for participation based on academic record, research performance, and potential for outstanding research in raptor biology. Students are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the REU experience. Information about the program is assessed by exit surveys, mentor evaluations, and use of an REU common assessment tool.

博伊西州立大学获得了本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点奖，该大学将在 2014 年至 2016 年夏季为 8 名学生提供为期 10 周的研究培训。该 REU 项目得到了 NSF 刺激竞争性研究实验项目 (EPSCoR) 和生物科学理事会 (BIO REU 项目) 的支持。该项目让本科生参与现场和实验室研究，主题重点是猛禽 研究。 博伊西州立大学猛禽研究中心 (RRC)、游隼基金会 (TPF)、爱达荷鸟类观测站 (IBO)、众多州和联邦自然资源机构以及莫利尼尔森蛇河猛禽国家保护区 (NCA) 的并置使爱达荷州博伊西成为令人兴奋且重要的猛禽研究中心。 REU 学生利用猛禽作为焦点生物进行基础和应用研究，并参与核心项目，其中包括昼夜猛禽生物学教学、濒危物种繁殖研讨会以及以负责任的研究、职业规划和科学交流为重点的发展。 该计划的最后一场跨学科学生研究会议为参与者提供了向学生、教师、科学家和非专业人士等不同受众交流他们的研究成果的机会。 每周的研讨会和其他活动提供定期的学生与导师以及学生与学生之间的互动，REU 学生成为博伊西州立大学夏季本科生研究社区的一部分，与来自众多 STEM 学科的本科生一起加入。 招聘通过数字和印刷媒体进行，来自科学领域代表性不足的群体和研究机会有限的机构的学生成为招聘工作的目标。 根据学术记录、研究表现和猛禽生物学杰出研究的潜力来选择学生参与。 我们对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们对学术研究领域的持续兴趣、职业道路以及 REU 经历的持久影响。 有关该计划的信息通过退出调查、导师评估和 REU 通用评估工具的使用进行评估。 如需了解更多信息，请访问 http://biology.boisestate.edu/reu，或联系 PI（Jim Belthoff 博士，电话：208-426-4033，电子邮件：[e-mail]）。
