This REU Site award to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, located in North Dartmouth, MA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2016-2018. Students will be mentored by faculty whose research projects illustrate collaborative, interdisciplinary, and integrative approaches to the study of marine biology, ranging from the genetics of marine organisms to their ecology and behavior, as well as fisheries science and management and coastal ecosystem dynamics. Students will also be introduced to the historical, economic, and cultural contexts of marine biology through visits to the port city of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Weekly workshops will focus on research proposal development, research ethics, career preparation, and presentation of research results in poster format. Student skills and mindsets regarding conducting and communicating research will be assessed through poster presentations, writing, and surveys. Applications from first-generation and under-represented minority students at community colleges and liberal arts colleges with limited research opportunities are strongly encouraged. Applications and instructions will be available online at http://www.umassd.edu/cas/biology/nsfreu/. It is anticipated that a total of 10 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences as well as at a poster symposium at the end of the summer. Students will attend career-oriented professional development workshops and historical and cultural workshops where they will learn about relationships between marine biology and the social sciences and humanities. Students will also write about their research for a general audience through poems and blogs.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences) will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by visiting http://www.umassd.edu/cas/biology/nsfreu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Nancy O'Connor at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Tara Rajaniemi at [e-mail]).

这个REU网站奖给马萨诸塞州达特茅斯，位于北达特茅斯，马萨诸塞州的大学，将支持10名学生在2016-2018年夏季10周的培训。学生将由教师指导，他们的研究项目说明了海洋生物学研究的协作，跨学科和综合方法，从海洋生物的遗传学到生态学和行为，以及渔业科学和管理和沿海生态系统动态。 学生还将通过参观马萨诸塞州的港口城市新贝德福德，了解海洋生物学的历史，经济和文化背景。 每周的研讨会将侧重于研究提案的制定，研究道德，职业生涯的准备，并在海报格式的研究成果的介绍。 学生的技能和思维方式进行和沟通的研究将通过海报演示，写作和调查进行评估。 强烈鼓励研究机会有限的社区学院和文科学院的第一代和代表性不足的少数民族学生申请。 申请和说明将在http://www.umassd.edu/cas/biology/nsfreu/上提供。 预计共有10名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将接受该方案的培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果，以及在夏季结束时的海报研讨会。 学生将参加以职业为导向的专业发展研讨会和历史和文化研讨会，在那里他们将了解海洋生物学与社会科学和人文科学之间的关系。 学生还将通过诗歌和博客为普通观众撰写他们的研究。由生物基础设施司（生物科学理事会）资助的所有REU计划使用的共同基于网络的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。学生需要在课程结束后进行跟踪，并必须通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//www.umassd.edu/cas/biology/nsfreu/，或联系主要研究者（Dr. Nancy奥康纳，网址：[e-mail]）或共同主要研究者（Dr.塔拉·拉贾涅米，[e-mail]）。
