Graduate Research Training in Plant Systematics

格尔-9554522多诺霍该计划将提供广泛的植物系统学研究生培训，从而解决植物生物学和环境生物学的广泛认可的需求。 器官和进化生物学（OEB）的部门非常适合提供这种培训。八名OEB教师（三名新任命的）将是该计划的主要参与者，沿着还有五名来自系外的相关人员。新的分子实验室补充了优秀申请人的优势和日益增长的兴趣，植物系统学计划的发展受到内部资金限制的阻碍。该计划将带来八个新的学生进入部门，并将为其他学生提供灵活的资金，以确保广泛的培训和及时完成博士学位。将启动一个轮换计划和几个新课程，目标是形态学和分子技术以及植物系统学的教学。哈佛将通过补充学费和提供实地研究助学金、植物标本培训以及新课程、研讨会、轮换和招聘活动的资源来增加NSF的资金。参与的教师将分配GRT资金，以实现这些目标，并将协调努力，以招募和保留代表性不足的少数民族学生。

GER-9554522 Donoghue This program will provide broad graduate training in plant systematics, thereby addressing widely recognized needs in plant biology and environmental biology. The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) is ideally suited to provide this training. Eight OEB faculty (three newly appointed) will be primary participants in the program, along with five associated personnel from outside the department. New molecular laboratories complement the strengths, and growing interest on the part of outstanding applicants, the development of a plant systematics program has been hindered by limitations on internal funding. The program will bring eight new students into the department and will provide flexible funding for other students to ensure broad training and timely completion of the PhD. A rotation scheme and several new courses will be initiated, targeting morphological and molecular techniques and the teaching of plant systematics. Harvard will augment NSF funding by supplementing tuition and providing field research assistantships, herbarium traineeships, and resources for the new courses, workshops, rotations, and recruitment activities. The participating faculty will allocate GRT funds to meet these goals and will coordinate efforts to recruit and retain underrepresented minority students.
