Graduate Research Traineeships in Plant Biology

该奖项授予植物生物系的21名教员，提供5个职位的研究生，他们将参加现有的植物科学培训计划。该计划强调植物过程的基本和通常独特的方面，包括光合作用机制，减数分裂方面，以及生长和发育的调节。这些教师中的大多数都是现有的NSF植物发育生物研究中心的参与者。培训项目还包括必修的教育学课程和两个学期的助教经验。这包括允许学生参加会议和暑期课程的资金，以及为学生研究购买材料和用品的资金。

This award to a group of 21 Faculty in the Department of Plant Biology provides 5 positions graduate students who will participate in an existing training program in Plant Science. The program emphasizes fundamental and often unique aspects of plant processes including photosynthetic mechanisms, aspects of meiosis, and the regulation of growth and development. Most of these faculty are participants in an existing NSF Biological Research Center for Plant Development. The training program also includes a required course in pedagogy and two semesters of experience as a teaching assistant. This includes funds to permit student participation in meetings and summer courses, and purchase of materials and supplies for student research.
