Undergraduate Research in Ecology and Behavior

该奖项向位于博尔德的科拉拉多大学环境、人口和组织生物学系提供资金，以建立本科生在生态学和行为学方面的研究经验。该项目将为打算从事生物科学职业的本科生提供1)土壤生态学、植物和昆虫生态学、植物生理学和行为生态学领域当前研究的介绍；2)在支持性、互动性环境中进行原创性研究的机会；3)指导生态学和行为学领域的研究的规划、实施和解释。所有参与的学生将参加每周一次的会议，这些会议将向他们介绍生态学和行为学领域，帮助规划和执行原创研究项目，并就申请研究生院提供建议。他们还将在夏末的一个简短研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生将与教职员工合作完成他们的项目，还将能够在他们的实验室与其他学生和博士后互动。

This award provides funds to the Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology at the University of Colarado at Bolder to establish a Research Experience for Undergraduates SITE in ecology and behavior. The program will provide undergraduates contemplating a career in the biological sciences with 1) an introduction to current research in the areas of soil ecology, plant and insect ecology, plant physiology, and behavioral ecology; 2) the opportunity to conduct original research in a supportive, interactive environment; and 3) instruction in the planning, execution, and interpretation of research in the areas of ecology and behavior. All participating students will attend weekly meetings that will introduce them to the fields of ecology and behavior, aid in planning and executing an original research project, and provide advice on applying to graduate school. They will also present the results of their research in a short seminar at the end of the summer. Students will work with faculty members on their projects, and will also be able to interact with other students and post-docs in their laboratories.
