REU Site: Physiology, Ecology, and Development in Changing Oceans (PEDCO)

这个REU网站奖给华盛顿的星期五港实验室的大学，在星期五港，华盛顿州，将支持15名学生在2022年至2024年的夏天8周的培训。预计共有45名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体，将在该方案中接受培训。鼓励各种各样的有动力的年轻科学家和来自研究机会有限的机构的学生提出申请。HBCU，少数民族服务机构和社区大学的学生特别鼓励申请。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工作成果。该计划的评估将通过在线评估工具进行。该REU侧重于海洋环境，重点是海洋生态学，发育生物学，疾病生态学和生理学。来自生物学，海洋学，林业，野生动物和渔业部门的导师将参与。该计划包括一对一的指导以及跨领域主题的小组培训，包括研究，统计，职业道路，偏见和多样性中的道德。学生应通过门户网站申请（见下文）。申请人将由PI和导师根据论文，研究兴趣和推荐信进行选择，以招募具有一系列学术经验的多元化群体。REU参与者由导师和主要研究者选择研究项目的例子包括装甲海岸的生态学，小型底栖生物的进化，鱼类的装甲，海草疾病生态学，以及使用微CT扫描和系统发育比较方法的鱼类进化形态学。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-research/summer- research-internships/，或联系PI（Adam Summers博士，fishguy@uw.edu）或联合PI（Amy Cook博士cooka@evergreen.edu）。该奖项由生物科学理事会生物基础设施部和地球科学理事会海洋科学部支持。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。

This REU Site Award to the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, in Friday Harbor, WA, will support the training of 15 students for 8 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 45 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Applications are encouraged from a diverse group of motivated young scientists and students from institutions with limited opportunities for research. HBCU, minority serving institutions, and community college students are especially encouraged to apply. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through an online assessment tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.This REU focuses on the marine environment, with an emphasis on marine ecology, developmental biology, disease ecology, and physiology. Mentors from the Departments of Biology, Oceanography, Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries will be involved. The program includes one on one mentoring as well as group training in cross cutting topics that include ethics in research, statistics, career pathways, bias, and diversity. Students should apply through the web portal (below). Applicants will be selected by the PIs and mentors based on essays, interest in research, and letters of recommendation to recruit a diverse cohort with a range of academic experience. REU participants are selected by mentors and principal investigators Examples of research projects include the ecology of armored shores, evolution of meiofaunal organisms, armor in fishes, seagrass disease ecology, and evolutionary morphology of fishes using micro-CT scanning and phylogenetic comparative methods. More information about the program is available by visiting https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-research/summer- research-internships/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Adam Summers at fishguy@uw.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Amy Cook cooka@evergreen.edu).This award is supported by the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences in the Directorate for Geosciences.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.
