This REU Site award to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), located in New York, NY, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. It is anticipated that a total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The program, Systematics and Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century, aims to build research capacity and strengthen skills in students who participate, growing the field of biological sciences with an aim to diversify the discipline as a whole. 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 the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The theme of the REU program is systematics and evolution and students will be mentored in lab and field techniques, analytical methods, as well as scientific communication and collaboration. Students will be mentored by museum scientists. Interested students will register in the NSF ETAP system (https://etap.nsf.gov). In selecting participants, emphasis is placed on student-project and student-mentor matching. Student research projects will cover the various fields of the systematics discipline from descriptive taxonomy to population genomics, linguistics and phylogenomics; students will learn to collect different types of neontological and paleontological data, and acquire experience with advanced morphological, molecular, and computational methods. Students will learn about the role and responsibility of museums as stewards of diversity through time and space by gaining familiarity with the AMNH’s vast collections. Further enrichment will be through weekly lectures and training sessions as well as workshops on ethics and responsible scientific conduct. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.amnh.org/research/richard-gilder-graduate-school/academics/fellowship-and-grant-opportunities/undergraduate-fellowships/reu-biology-program, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jessica Ware, [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Cheryl Hayashi, [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REU遗址奖授予位于纽约州纽约的美国自然历史博物馆(AMNH)，将在2023-2025年夏季支持12名学生为期10周的培训。预计共有36名学生将在该方案中接受培训，这些学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体。该项目名为21世纪的系统学和进化生物学，旨在建设研究能力，加强参与学生的技能，发展生物科学领域，旨在使整个学科多样化。学生将学习研究是如何进行的，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。将通过SALG Urssa在线工具对该方案进行评估。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。REU项目的主题是系统学和进化论，学生将在实验室和现场技术、分析方法以及科学交流和合作方面得到指导。学生们将得到博物馆科学家的指导。有兴趣的学生将在NSF ETAP系统(https://etap.nsf.gov).)注册在选择参与者时，重点放在学生-项目和学生-导师匹配上。学生的研究项目将涵盖系统学学科的各个领域，从描述分类学到种群基因组学、语言学和系统基因组学；学生将学习收集不同类型的新学和古生物学数据，并获得先进的形态、分子和计算方法的经验。学生们将通过熟悉AMNH的大量藏品来了解博物馆作为时空多样性管理者的角色和责任。将通过每周一次的讲座和培训班以及关于道德和负责任的科学行为的讲习班来进一步充实。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://www.amnh.org/research/richard-gilder-graduate-school/academics/fellowship-and-grant-opportunities/undergraduate-fellowships/reu-biology-program，或联系国际组织(Jessica Ware博士，[e-mail])或联合国际组织(Cheryl Hayashi博士，[e-mail])。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已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。
