REU Site: Research in Environmental Studies and Evolutionary Developmental Biology

这个REU网站奖给旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU），位于旧金山弗朗西斯科，加利福尼亚州，将支持10名学生在2017年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。该计划的重点是在生态学，进化和发育生物学领域。REU研究员将与REU导师的多元化团队合作，这些导师拥有积极的校外资助研究实验室，其中许多位于SFSU的海洋站，Romberg Tiburon环境研究中心（RTC）。该计划包括为期3天的强化实验室/现场方法课程，为期9周的独立研究项目，为期9周的专业发展研讨会，生物伦理研讨会，各种网络活动，以及主校区和RTC的研究会议，学生向更广泛的社区展示他们的研究项目。程序？的招聘工作包括“硬拷贝”和基于数字的广告，以及通过校友和教师的网络活动。预计共有50名来自不同背景的学生，在他们的学术生涯的早期阶段，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。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成果。其目标是鼓励学生不仅完成他们的本科学位的科学，但也考虑研究生水平的培训和职业生涯的科学。因此，学生的选择是基于他们的学习成绩，推荐信，对生态学，进化和发展的兴趣，以及未来的职业目标。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU研究中心项目将使用事前和事后调查以及基于网络的通用评估工具来确定培训项目的有效性。学生被跟踪，以确定他们的学术和职业道路的研究经验的影响。学生将被要求通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//biology.sfsu.edu/faculty-pages/reu，或联系PI（Dr. Carmen Domingo，网址：cdomingo@sfsu.edu）或共同PI（Dr. Sarah Cohen，sarahcoh@sfsu.edu）。

This REU site award to San Francisco State University (SFSU), located in San Francisco, CA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2021. The program's focus is in the area of ecology, evolution, and developmental biology. REU fellows will work with a diverse team of REU mentors with active extramurally funded research labs, many of which are located at SFSU's marine station, the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC). The program includes a 3-day intensive lab/field methods course, 9-week independent research project, 9-week professional development seminar, bioethics workshop, variety of networking activities, and research conferences on the main campus and at RTC where students present their research projects to the broader community. The program?s recruitment effort consists of "hard copy" and digitally-based advertising, as well as through networking activities by REU alumni and faculty.It is anticipated that a total of 50 students from diverse backgrounds, at an early stage of their academic careers, and primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present their results at scientific conferences. The goals are to encourage students to not only complete their undergraduate degrees in the sciences, but also consider graduate-level training and careers in the sciences. Therefore, students are selected based on their academic record, letters of recommendation, interest in ecology, evolution, and development, and future career goals. Pre and post surveys as well as a common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students are tracked to determine the impact of the research experience on their academic and career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
