This REU Site award to Georgia Southern University (GSU), located in Statesboro, Georgia, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. Housed at GSU's Department of Biology, the unifying theme involves the impacts of global climate change stressors on organisms and ecosystems of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The goal is to engage undergraduates in research and professional development activities that promote an understanding of the unique biological resources occurring in this geographic region as well as their sustainable use and management. Students will participate in hands-on research guided by faculty mentors, as well as in professional development workshops targeting general and conceptual knowledge in the ecology of the coastal plain, scientific communication skills (oral and written), techniques for locating and evaluating primary literature, and ethical practices in science. Student recruitment is targeted at 1st and 2nd year (freshman and sophomore) students attending institutions where research opportunities may be more limited, such as at 2-year colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions. Students will be required to register in the NSF ETAP system (etap.nsf.gov) and tracked after the program to determine their career paths.Students will conduct research on how stressors impact organisms and ecosystems of the Atlantic Coastal Plain while learning field and laboratory skills that are broadly relevant to ecosystem-level scientific investigations. Many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The goal is to foster an environment for learning and professional development that leads to opportunities in graduate studies and careers in science. 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. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting https://sites.google.com/georgiasouthern.edu/icps-reu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. J. Checo Colon-Gaud at [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.

这个REU网站奖给格鲁吉亚南方大学（GSU），位于斯泰茨伯勒，格鲁吉亚，将支持10名学生的培训10周期间的夏天2023-2025。设在GSU的生物系，统一的主题涉及全球气候变化的压力对生物和大西洋沿海平原生态系统的影响。我们的目标是让本科生参与研究和专业发展活动，促进对这一地理区域独特的生物资源及其可持续利用和管理的理解。学生将参加由教师导师指导的实践研究，以及针对沿海平原生态学的一般和概念知识，科学沟通技能（口头和书面），定位和评估主要文献的技术以及科学道德实践的专业发展研讨会。招生对象是就读于研究机会可能更有限的机构的一年级和二年级（大一和大二）学生，例如两年制大学和主要是本科院校。学生将被要求在NSF ETAP系统（etap.nsf.gov）注册，并在项目结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将进行关于压力如何影响大西洋海岸平原的生物和生态系统的研究，同时学习与生态系统水平的科学调查广泛相关的实地和实验室技能。许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。其目标是培养一个学习和专业发展的环境，从而为研究生学习和科学职业提供机会。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，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https：//sites.google.com/georgiasouthern.edu/icps-reu/，或联系PI（J. J. Colono Colon-Gaud博士，网址：[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
