项目摘要

The project is jointly funded by the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program. It has both scientific and societal benefits and integrates research with education. The collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates: Past, Present and Human-Environment Dynamics program builds on the success of the Koobi Fora Research and Training Program (KFRTP) and will develop a new framework for integrated training and research in anthropology, archaeology, geology, human biology and ethnoarchaeology. Humans have been interacting with changing environments for thousands of years. For communities that live in remote and resource poor ecosystems, environmental changes present life-threatening challenges. Changes in subsistence practices in the past have allowed humans to adapt to environmental changes. These subsistence changes have also had a dramatic impact on the ecosystems that humans lived in with consequences for the health of communities that live in remote habitats. This project will train 3 cohorts of 8 students from diverse backgrounds (including in service teachers) that will learn a variety of transferable STEM skills to investigate the intersection of human behavior and environmental change. Multiple mentorship contexts will allow students to learn skills in a supportive and collaborative environment. This project will focus on student support and the development of cohorts who will investigate critical components of the interaction of humans and their environments. Each student will: 1) generate new knowledge by designing and conducting an original research project with leading international human biologists and archaeologists, 2) collect and analyze data using state-of-the-art methods, 3) synthesize and present the findings at follow-up workshops and professional development seminars in the U.S., and 4) engage in training on the public understanding of science with outreach coordinators at the American Museum of Natural History (New York). This REU project will recruit at least 24 US-undergraduate students nationwide- focusing on students underrepresented in STEM fields. A portion of our students will be involved in a Research Experience for Teachers and use this experience to develop school curricula. Our project will focus the interaction between humans and shifting ecosystem dynamics in the past and present. Specifically, we will investigate the following questions: How do present and past populations react to changing ecological pressures? 2)What was the impact of different subsistence strategies on the ecosystem? 3) How do current communities interact with their environment to meet their water and food needs and what are the impacts of this on nutritional status, hydration status, and health outcomes? 4) How have different populations used shifting patterns of mobility and land use to address these ecological and subsistence challenges? Investigating these questions will form the basis of interdisciplinary training. Trainees will gain a series of widely applicable skills as they gain a holistic perspective on the interface between changing environmental parameters and human adaptations in a tropical arid region. Student research will be incorporated into ongoing public outreach and youth initiative programs at the AMNH. The associated RET component will help develop learning modules for K-12 students that emphasize the time transgressive nature of behavioral and biological adaptations to rapidly changing habitats. This project will help document the health and water issues of ~12,000 community members who are currently under-served and present results to county and national level organizations. This project will provide undergraduate students with a unique, holistic training opportunity on a collaborative field research project.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.
该项目由本科生研究经验(REU)网站计划共同资助。它具有科学和社会效益,并将研究与教育结合起来。本科生的合作研究经验:过去,现在和人类环境动力学计划建立在Koobi Fora研究和培训计划(KFRTP)的成功基础上,将为人类学,考古学,地质学,人类生物学和民族考古学的综合培训和研究开发一个新的框架。几千年来,人类一直在与不断变化的环境相互作用。对于生活在偏远和资源贫乏的生态系统中的社区来说,环境变化带来了威胁生命的挑战。过去生存方式的改变使人类能够适应环境的变化。这些生计变化也对人类生活的生态系统产生了巨大影响,对生活在偏远生境的社区的健康产生了后果。该项目将培训来自不同背景(包括在职教师)的8名学生,他们将学习各种可转移的STEM技能,以调查人类行为和环境变化的交叉点。多个指导环境将允许学生在支持和协作的环境中学习技能。该项目将侧重于学生的支持和发展的同伙谁将调查人类及其环境的相互作用的关键组成部分。每个学生将:1)通过与国际领先的人类生物学家和考古学家一起设计和开展原创研究项目来产生新知识,2)使用最先进的方法收集和分析数据,3)在美国的后续研讨会和专业发展研讨会上综合并展示研究结果,(4)在美国自然历史博物馆(纽约)与外联协调员一起参加关于公众理解科学的培训。这个REU项目将在全国范围内招募至少24名美国本科生-专注于STEM领域代表性不足的学生。我们的学生的一部分将参与教师的研究经验,并利用这种经验来开发学校课程。我们的项目将关注人类与过去和现在不断变化的生态系统动态之间的相互作用。具体来说,我们将调查以下问题:如何做现在和过去的人口对不断变化的生态压力?2)不同的生存策略对生态系统有何影响?3)当前社区如何与环境相互作用以满足其水和食物需求,以及这对营养状况、水合状态和健康结果有何影响?4)不同的人口如何利用不断变化的流动和土地使用模式来应对这些生态和生存挑战?对这些问题的调查将构成跨学科培训的基础。受训者将获得一系列广泛适用的技能,因为他们获得了一个整体的角度对热带干旱地区不断变化的环境参数和人类适应之间的接口。学生的研究将被纳入正在进行的公共宣传和青年倡议计划在AMNH。相关的RET组件将有助于开发学习模块的K-12学生,强调行为和生物适应迅速变化的栖息地的时间越界性质。该项目将帮助记录目前服务不足的约12 000名社区成员的健康和水问题,并向县和国家一级组织提交结果。该项目将为本科生提供一个独特的,全面的培训机会,合作领域的研究项目。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并已被认为是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的支持。
