This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This REU Site award to Harvard University, located in Cambridge, MA, will support the training of 8 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 24 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities and/or from under-represented groups, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and all participants will present their results at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium, as well as other scientific conferences. In addition, students will engage in professional skill building exercises that will encourage them to pursue a career in research science in general and evolution/ecology in particular. Assessment of the program will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.Research projects and mentors will be drawn from a diverse set of labs based in the Departments of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Human Evolutionary Biology, which focus on the study of evolution, ecology, genetics/genomics, physiology, biomechanics, and biodiversity. In addition to an intensive, mentored laboratory experience, the REU students will participate in several types of activities: 1) professional development seminars, including on ethics/responsible conduct of research, 2) the Leadership Alliance National Symposium research and mentoring conference, and 3) diverse cohort-building social activities. By participating in the REU program, undergraduate students will have cutting edge research experiences within the context of a strong mentorship community made up of faculty, graduate students, and peers. This experience will demystify the graduate school application process and longterm career opportunities, with a particular goal of building confidence and psychological resiliency. Applicants are invited to apply through the Leadership Alliance Program and indicate their interest in the Harvard E3 REU. Our goal is to reach students at undergraduate institutions who demonstrate an interest in evolution and ecology but may have limited access to this type of research on their home campuses. More information about the program is available by visiting https://reu.oeb.harvard.edu/sroh, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Elena Kramer, [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Sheila Thomas, [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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公共法117-2）的全部或部分资助的。该奖项授予位于马萨诸塞州剑桥的哈佛大学的REU网站奖，将在2022 - 2024年的夏季在10周内支持8名学生的培训。预计总共有24名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校和/或来自代表性不足的小组的学生，将在该计划中接受培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，所有参与者将在领导联盟国家研讨会以及其他科学会议上展示其结果。此外，学生将进行专业的技能锻炼，以鼓励他们从事一般，进化/生态学的研究科学职业。该程序的评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。将在计划之后跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。研究项目和导师将从有机和进化生物学部门的各种实验室以及人类进化生物学部门中汲取灵感，这些实验室的侧重于进化，生态学，遗传学/遗传学，生理学，生物力学和生物学学，生物学，生物力学和生物学学。除了丰富的，有指导的实验室经验外，REU学生还将参加几种类型的活动：1）专业发展研讨会，包括有关道德/负责任的研究，2）领导力联盟国家研讨会研究与指导会议，以及3）多样化的队列建设社会活动。通过参加REU计划，本科生将在由教职员工，研究生和同龄人组成的强大指导社区中拥有最先进的研究经验。这种经验将使研究生院的申请过程和长期职业机会神秘，并具有建立信心和心理韧性的特殊目标。邀请申请人通过领导联盟计划申请，并表明他们对哈佛E3 REU的兴趣。我们的目标是吸引本科机构的学生，他们表现出对进化和生态的兴趣，但可能在其家庭校园中获得此类研究的机会有限。 More information about the program is available by visiting https://reu.oeb.harvard.edu/sroh, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Elena Kramer, [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Sheila Thomas, [e-mail]).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来支持。
