This REU Site award to Harvard University, located in Cambridge, MA, will support the training of eight students for ten weeks during the summers of 2019-21. The main goal of the Evolution, Ecology, Environment (E3) REU program is to leverage the extraordinary resources of the Harvard Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) and the interdepartmental Harvard University Center for the Environment (HUCE) to increase the number of students who pursue research careers in the fields of evolution and ecology, with a focus on students of color and first generation students. In addition to an intensive, mentored laboratory experience, E3 REU students will participate in several types of ancillary activities: 1) professional development seminars, including on ethics/responsible conduct of research, 2) the Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) research and mentoring conference, and 3) diverse cohort-building activities. Applicants are invited to apply through the Leadership Alliance Program and indicate their interest in the Harvard E3 REU. Our goal is to reach students at undergraduate institutions who demonstrate an interest in evolution and ecology but may have limited access to this type of research on their home campuses. It is anticipated that a total of 24 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained over the lifetime of the program. By participating in the REU Site program, undergraduate students will have cutting edge research experiences within the context of a strong mentorship community made up of faculty, graduate students, and peers. This experience will demystify the graduate school application process, the student experience, and longterm career opportunities, with a particular goal of building confidence and psychological resiliency.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 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 https://gsas.harvard.edu/diversity/outreach-programs/summer-research-opportunities-harvard, or by contacting PI (Elena Kramer, [e-mail]), or the Co-PI (Sheila Thomas, [e-mail]).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个REU网站奖给哈佛大学，位于剑桥，MA，将支持八名学生在2019年至2021年的夏天为期十周的培训。进化，生态，环境（E3）REU计划的主要目标是利用器官和进化生物学（OEB）的哈佛部门和跨部门的哈佛大学环境中心（HUCE）的非凡资源，以增加在进化和生态学领域从事研究职业的学生人数，重点关注有色人种和第一代学生。除了密集的，辅导的实验室经验，E3 REU学生将参加几种类型的辅助活动：1）专业发展研讨会，包括道德/负责任的研究行为，2）领导联盟全国研讨会（局域网）研究和指导会议，以及3）不同的队列建设活动。申请人被邀请通过领导力联盟计划申请，并表明他们对哈佛E3 REU的兴趣。我们的目标是接触本科院校的学生，他们对进化和生态学感兴趣，但在他们的家乡校园可能无法获得这种类型的研究。预计共有24名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划的生命周期内接受培训。通过参加REU网站计划，本科生将在由教师，研究生和同行组成的强大导师社区的背景下拥有尖端的研究经验。这种体验将揭开研究生院申请流程、学生体验和长期职业机会的神秘面纱，其特别目标是建立信心和心理复原力。由生物部门资助的所有REU站点项目使用的通用基于网络的评估工具基础设施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https：//gsas.harvard.edu/diversity/outreach-programs/summer-research-opportunities-harvard，或联系PI（Elena克雷默，[e-mail]）或Co-PI（Sheila托马斯，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
