项目摘要

This REU Site award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Parkland College, located in Champaign, IL, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. It is anticipated that 30 students from community colleges will be trained in the program. Students will participate in a research training boot-camp at Parkland followed by the completion of a research project at the University of Illinois. The program will increase the participation of community college students in research. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their further education and eventual career paths. Students will learn how research is conducted and many will present the results of their work as a research poster at scientific conferences.Students will conduct research in the area of phenotypic plasticity, the ability of one genotype to produce more than one phenotype when exposed to different environments. Faculty from multiple departments at the University of Illinois serve as mentors. Examples of past projects include examining the role of stress on neuroanatomy in nematodes, the effect of elevated ozone on soybean growth, and the impact of parental care on reproduction in fish. Applications are accepted from January until March. Applications are evaluated by the program directors and faculty mentors. Successful applications include strong letters of reference and personal statements describing their motivation for participating in the program. The program begins in late May with a research boot-camp where students receive training in navigating scientific literature, understanding research ethics, scientific note taking, and selected scientific techniques. During the research immersion component, students also participate in activities designed to help ease the transfer process from community college to four-year colleges or universities. Other training sessions include workshops on analyzing and presenting scientific data and applying to graduate school. Students also participate in a scientific outreach program for the local community. More information about the program is available by visiting https://precs.igb.illinois.edu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Nathan Schroeder at nes@illinois.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Carlson at ccarlson@parkland.edu).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网站奖伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和帕克兰学院，位于尚潘，IL，将支持10名学生的培训10周期间的夏天2020-2022。预计将有30名来自社区学院的学生接受该方案的培训。学生将参加在帕克兰的研究训练营，然后在伊利诺伊大学完成一个研究项目。该计划将增加社区大学学生参与研究。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的进一步教育和最终的职业道路。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的研究成果作为研究海报。学生将在表型可塑性领域进行研究，即一种基因型在暴露于不同环境时产生多种表型的能力。来自伊利诺伊大学多个部门的教师担任导师。过去项目的例子包括研究压力对线虫神经解剖学的作用，臭氧升高对大豆生长的影响，以及父母照顾对鱼类繁殖的影响。从1月到3月接受申请。应用程序由程序主任和教师导师进行评估。成功的申请包括强有力的推荐信和个人陈述，描述他们参加该计划的动机。该计划于5月下旬开始，学生将在研究训练营中接受科学文献导航，理解研究伦理，科学笔记和选定的科学技术的培训。在研究沉浸部分，学生还参加旨在帮助缓解从社区学院到四年制学院或大学的转移过程的活动。其他培训课程包括关于分析和展示科学数据以及申请研究生院的研讨会。学生们还参加了当地社区的科学推广计划。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https：//precs.igb.illinois.edu/，或联系PI（Nathan Schroeder博士，nes@illinois.edu）或co-PI（Carlson博士，ccarlson@parkland.edu）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
