This REU Site award to the Morton Arboretum, located in Lisle, IL, will support the training of 8 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019- 2021. Research focuses on the use of trees as model systems to gain a broad understanding of evolution, ecology, conservation, and management in natural and built environments. The Center for Tree Science (CTS) researchers will guide students through the scientific process using an integrative approach, where different scientific fields are combined on a focal topic (trees, in this case) to conduct solution-based science. This REU will foster intellectual development, critical thinking, independence, self-confidence, and perseverance that will benefit students as they pursue a career in any field. Field trips, science communication training, and networking events with regional REU sites are highlights of the program. Students present their results at a research symposium. Applications are recruited nationally, through listservs and job boards. Applications are encouraged from NSF-recognized under-represented minority (URM) students both locally and nationally, students from colleges where research opportunities are limited, and outstanding beginning students (first and second year).It is anticipated that a total of 24 students, primarily URM students, students from limited-research institutions, and beginning students, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will go on to present their work at national scientific conferences. Successful projects can be continued the following year through fellowships offered by the Center for Tree Science.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 will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting http://www.mortonarb.org/reu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Chuck Cannon at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Silvia Alvarez-Clare at [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网站奖莫顿植物园，位于莱尔，IL，将支持8名学生在2019年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。研究重点是使用树木作为模型系统，以广泛了解自然和建筑环境中的进化、生态、保护和管理。 树木科学中心（CTS）的研究人员将使用综合方法指导学生完成科学过程，将不同的科学领域结合在一个焦点主题（在这种情况下是树木）上，以进行基于解决方案的科学。这个REU将促进智力发展，批判性思维，独立性，自信心和毅力，这将有利于学生，因为他们在任何领域追求职业生涯。实地考察，科学传播培训，并与区域REU网站的网络活动是该计划的亮点。学生们在研究研讨会上展示他们的成果。申请通过列表服务器和求职板在全国范围内招聘。申请鼓励从NSF认可的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生在当地和全国，学生从大学的研究机会是有限的，和优秀的开始学生（第一和第二年）。预计共有24名学生，主要是URM学生，学生从有限的研究机构，和开始的学生，将在该计划中进行培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将继续在国家科学会议上介绍他们的工作。成功的项目可以通过树木科学中心提供的奖学金在第二年继续进行。由生物基础设施司资助的所有REU网站项目使用的一种基于网络的通用评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http：//www.mortonarb.org/reu，或联系PI（Chuck Cannon博士，[e-mail]）或联合PI（Silvia Alvarez-Clare博士，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
