Summer Institute in EcoInformatics

俄勒冈州立大学和H.J.安德鲁斯实验森林将在Desiree D.Tullos博士的指导下，举办为期10周的NIBIB-NSF生物工程和生物信息学夏季学院(BBSI)生态信息学项目。该研究所将资助60名本科生和研究生，每年15名，为期四年。生态信息学是数学科学、计算机科学和工程技术在生态系统研究和管理中的综合应用。这个生态信息学暑期研究所的目标是为生物科学、计算机科学、工程、数学科学和物理科学专业的早期本科生和早期研究生提供精心规划的跨学科生态系统信息学研究和教育经验，以增加研究生及以后攻读生态系统信息学的个人数量。在安德鲁斯森林学院的跨学科长期生态研究(LTER)计划及其信息管理计划的基础上，这个夏季学院将1)培训和促进年轻科学家的发现，他们将通过基于团队的研究和教育为生态系统科学、计算机科学和数学做出基本贡献：2)促进寻求高等教育和生态信息学研究经验的不同学生群体的追求和成功；3)提供毕业生在自然资源管理和政策的跨学科环境中工作。暑期学院将以招收服务不足的美洲原住民、拉美裔和女性学生群体为目标，并将提供职业发展活动，说明学术界、机构和私营部门的职业选择。通过这种综合的研究和教育，有效的指导和实践经验，参与者将获得基础和机会，以发展和寻求对他们自己的研究生课程的支持，包括同行评审的研究提案，以及成为杰出的跨学科科学家和生态信息学科学的有效贡献者的培训。该项目由生物科学局(BIO)/生物基础设施司(DBI)/生物数据库和信息学(BDI)计划共同资助；国家卫生研究院(NIH)/国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所(NIBIB)，以及计算机和信息科学与工程局(CEISE)/信息和智能系统司(IIS)。

Oregon State University and the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest will host a 10 week NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program in EcoInformatics under the direction of Dr. Desiree D. Tullos. This Institute will support a total of 60 undergraduate and graduate students, 15 per year, for a total of four years.EcoInformatics is the integrated application of mathematical sciences, computer science and engineering to the study ahd management of ecoystems. The objective of this Summer Institute in EcoInformatics is to provide early undergraduate and early-stage graduate students majoring in the biological sciences, computer sciences, engineering, mathematical sciences, and physcial sciences with carefully planned interdisciplinary ecosystem informatics research and education experiences in order to increase the number of individual pursuing ecoysystem informatics at the graduate level and beyond. Building on the interdisciplinary Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program at the H.J. Andrews Forest and its information management program this Summer Institute will 1) train and promote discovery in young scientists who will make basic contributions to ecosystem science, computer science, and mathematics through team -based research and education: 2) promote the pursuit and success of a diverse group of students seeking higher education and research experience in EcoInformatics; and 3) provide graduates to work in interdisciplinary settings on natural resources management and policy.The Summer Institute will target the recruitment of underserved student populations of Native Americans, Hispanics, and women, and will provide career development activities illustrating career options in academia, agencies, and the private sector. Through this integrated research and education, effective mentoring, and hands-on experience, participants will gain the foundation and opportunities to develop and seek support for their own graduate program, including a peer reviewed research proposal, as well as the training to become outstanding interdisciplinary scientists and effective contributors to EcoInformatics science.This project is being co-funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO)/ Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI)/Biological Databases and Informatics (BDI) Program ; the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)/Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS).
