REU Site: Integrative Biology and Ecology of Marine Organisms

向华盛顿大学颁发了一笔奖金，在2010-2012年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。 该奖项还得到了地球科学局（GEO）海洋科学处（OCE）的支持。 这种研究经验的目的是提高海洋素养和熟悉海洋环境的一个包罗万象的科学界的框架内，将提供一个完整的职业生涯的支持和指导的价值。 华盛顿大学星期五港实验室将提供一个极好的环境，研究海洋生物的综合生物学和生态学。 这些实验室位于圣胡安岛，提供各种原始和受影响的潮间带和潮下带栖息地，将作为学生项目的平台。 从国家本科生库招募的参与者将利用这个沿海环境和实验室研究方法的多样性，从事真正的跨学科工作。 该计划包括研究指导和成为生物学家所需的工具的正式培训，包括道德和负责任的研究，科学写作，演示和推广行为。 预计学生将在整个10周的课程中在实验室进行一对一的研究，在此期间，他们还将参加旨在促进他们发展的练习。该计划的更广泛的影响是在许多层面上：实验室将受益于这些充满活力的年轻人带来的新想法，该计划将使实验室更有吸引力的研究人员使用我们的设施。该计划将建立在实验室的代表性不足的少数民族辅导计划的成功，为更多的学生提供参与的机会。 该计划的教育，职业发展和团队建设方面将被跟踪，以显示对学生参与者的持久影响，他们将使用通用的评估工具进行评估。联系斯科特施温格（schwinge@uw.edu），亚当萨默斯（fishguy@uw.edu）或艾米丽卡林顿（ecarring@uw.edu）了解更多有关该计划的信息。 或者，访问网站http://depts.washington.edu/fhl/REU.html。

An award was made to the University of Washington to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, for the summers of 2010-2012. This award is also supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO). This research experience is designed to increase ocean literacy and familiarity with the marine environment within the framework of an all encompassing scientific community that will offer a full career's worth of support and guidance. The University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories will offer an excellent environment in which to study the integrative biology and ecology of marine organisms. The labs are on San Juan Island and offer a variety of pristine and impacted intertidal and subtidal habitats that will serve as the platform for student projects. Participants recruited from the national pool of undergraduates will take advantage of this coastal environment and the diversity of research approaches at the labs to engage in truly interdisciplinary work. The program includes research mentoring and also formal training in the tools needed to become a biologist, including ethics and the responsible conduct of research, science writing, presentation, and outreach. Students are expected to engage in one-on-one research at the labs for the entire 10 week program, during which they will also participate in exercises designed to further their development. The broader impacts of this program are at many levels: the labs will benefit from these energetic young people bringing new ideas, and the program will make the labs more attractive to investigators using our facilities. This program will build on the success of the Laboratories' underrepresented minority mentoring program by offering more students an opportunity to participate. The educational, career development and team building aspects of the program will be tracked to show the lasting effects on student participants who will be assessed with a common assessment tool.
