REU: Evolutionary Biology at the American Museum: Under- Graduate Research Experience in An Interactive Environment

该奖项将在美国自然历史博物馆建立一个进化生物学领域的本科生研究经验网站。利用博物馆优秀科研人员的研究和教学专业知识，该计划围绕精心设计的项目，向本科水平的学生介绍进化生物学的原始研究的兴奋和挑战。项目结构包括一系列两周一次的会议，学生将在会上讨论他们的研究，提交非正式的进展报告，并参加有关研究生和研究职业机会的讨论和研讨会。在课程结束时，学生将参加一个研讨会，在那里他们将对他们的工作进行正式的介绍。AMNH将为REU参与者制定一个后续计划，旨在鼓励他们从事科学事业。

This award will establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at the American Museum of Natural History in the area of evolutionary biology. Drawing on the research and teaching expertise of the Museum's outstanding scientific staff, the program revolves around projects carefully designed to introduce undergraduate level students to the excitement and challenge of original research in evolutionary biology. Included in the program structure is a series of bi-weekly meetings at which students will discuss their research, present informal progress reports, and take part in discussions and seminars on graduate and research career opportunities. At the end of the program students will participate in a seminar where they will give a formal presentation for their work. The AMNH will institute a follow-up program for REU participants aimed at encouraging them to pursue careers in science.
