This REU Site award to Boise State University, located in Boise, ID, will support the training of 9 students per year for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019 - 2020. This award is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with NSF and the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure. Research is conducted in study sites throughout southern Idaho including in the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. The REU-Raptor Research Site partners faculty from Boise State University's Raptor Research Center with scientists from the Peregrine Fund, Intermountain Bird Observatory, US Geological Survey and other agencies with expertise in the study of birds of prey. Students focus research on hawks, falcons, eagles, and owls to investigate biological questions related to species interactions, behavior, physiology, population dynamics, ecosystem function, and potential effects of climate change and anthropogenic influences on animal systems. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, students have the choice of field or laboratory projects and may focus on basic or applied aspects of raptor biology. Students also participate in a core program focused on responsible conduct of research and animal handling. It is anticipated that 18 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Focus is also on broadening participation in STEM by engaging members of underrepresented groups, veterans, and first generation college students. Students will learn how research is conducted, and most will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Participants also benefit from workshops focused on the publication process, scientific communication, and applying to graduate school and fellowships. The REU program culminates with participation at a statewide undergraduate research conference, providing for networking with other undergraduate researchers and university, government, and STEM industry professionals. 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 to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about REU-Raptor Research is available by visiting https://biology.boisestate.edu/reu/ or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jim Belthoff 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网站奖给博伊西州立大学，位于博伊西，ID，将支持9名学生每年10周的培训在2019 - 2020年的夏天。该奖项由国防部与NSF和NSF生物基础设施部门合作支持。研究在整个爱达荷州南部的研究地点进行，包括莫利纳尔逊蛇河猛禽国家保护区。REU猛禽研究中心与来自博伊西州立大学猛禽研究中心的教师以及来自游隼基金会、山间鸟类观测站、美国地质调查局和其他具有猛禽研究专长的机构的科学家合作。学生专注于鹰，猎鹰，鹰和猫头鹰的研究，以调查与物种相互作用，行为，生理，种群动态，生态系统功能，以及气候变化和人为影响对动物系统的潜在影响有关的生物学问题。在经验丰富的导师的指导下，学生可以选择实地或实验室项目，并可以专注于猛禽生物学的基础或应用方面。学生还参加了一个核心计划，重点是负责任的研究和动物处理行为。预计将有18名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该方案中接受培训。重点还在于通过吸引代表性不足的群体，退伍军人和第一代大学生的成员来扩大STEM的参与。学生将学习如何进行研究，大多数将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。参与者还受益于侧重于出版过程，科学交流，并申请研究生院和奖学金的研讨会。REU计划的高潮是参加全州范围内的本科生研究会议，与其他本科生研究人员和大学，政府和STEM行业专业人士建立联系。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU研究中心项目使用的通用网络评估工具将用于确定培训项目的有效性。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REU-Raptor研究的更多信息，请访问https://biology.boisestate.edu/reu/或联系PI（Jim Belthoff博士，[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。
