项目摘要

This REU Site award to the University of Hawaii Manoa, located in Honolulu, HI, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. This award is supported by the Divisions of Biological Infrastructure (BIO/DBI) and Oceanic Sciences (GEO/OCE). Research will be conducted at the main campus of the University and its affiliated marine laboratories co-located on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii. The project focuses on training Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, a group under-represented in STEM. Interns will spend one day each week engaged in group activities (field trips, lectures, and instruction in the ethical conduct of research) and the remainder of the week in mentors' laboratories. Interns will choose mentors from 25 faculty investigating 1) terrestrial ecology and evolution (Depts. of Botany and Biology); 2) marine and coral reef biology (Kewalo Marine Laboratory and Hawaiian Institute of Marine Biology); and 3) animal/plant-microbe interactions (Pacific Biosciences Research Center). These future island leaders will experience quality training to catalyze the development of their scientific careers and benefit their home islands A total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Two-year colleges in the Pacific islands of Palau, the Northern Marianas, Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and American Samoa, will comprise up to three-quarters of the intern cohort each summer, with the remaining coming from colleges in Hawaii. Students will learn to conduct research, write scientific papers and present research results orally in an end-of-program symposium. Many will present their research results at national scientific conferences and in publications in professional journals.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by BIO/DBI will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program to follow their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.

这项授予夏威夷大学马诺阿分校的REU SITE奖项将在2017-2019年夏季为12名学生提供为期10周的培训。该奖项由生物基础设施部(BIO/DBI)和海洋科学部(GEO/OCE)支持。研究将在大学的主校区及其附属的海洋实验室进行，这些实验室共同位于夏威夷的奥胡岛。该项目的重点是培训夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民，这是STEM中代表性不足的一个群体。实习生每周将有一天参加小组活动(实地考察、讲座和指导研究的伦理行为)，其余时间在导师的实验室里。实习生将从25名研究地球生态与进化的教职员工中挑选导师。(2)海洋和珊瑚礁生物学(凯瓦洛海洋实验室和夏威夷海洋生物研究所)；以及3)动物/植物-微生物相互作用(太平洋生物科学研究中心)。这些未来的岛屿领导人将经历高质量的培训，以促进他们的科学事业的发展，并使他们的家乡岛屿受益。共有36名学生将在该计划中接受培训，他们主要来自研究机会有限的学校。在太平洋岛屿帕劳、北马里亚纳群岛、关岛、密克罗尼西亚联邦、马绍尔群岛和美属萨摩亚的两年制大学，每年夏天将占实习生总数的四分之三，其余的来自夏威夷的大学。学生将学习进行研究，撰写科学论文，并在项目结束的研讨会上口头陈述研究成果。许多人将在国家科学会议和专业期刊的出版物上展示他们的研究成果。由BIO/DBI资助的所有REU网站项目使用的通用网络评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。学生将在项目结束后被跟踪，以跟踪他们的职业道路。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www5.pbrc.hawaii.edu/reu/，或联系国际和平组织(Michael G.Hadfield，电子邮件：hadfield@hawai.edu)或共同国际组织(Matthew Medeiros博士，电子邮件：mcmedeir@hawai.edu)。
