REU Site: Research in Environmental Studies and Evolutionary Developmental Biology

旧金山州立大学（SFSU）获得了本科生研究经验（REU）站点奖，该奖项将在2012- 2016年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该计划的重点是在生态，进化和发育生物学领域。REU研究员将与一个非常多样化的REU导师团队合作，他们拥有活跃的外部资助的研究实验室，其中许多实验室位于SFSU的海洋站Romberg Tiburon环境研究中心（RTC）。该项目将包括为期一周的强化实验/讲座/实地方法课程，为期9周的在主校区或RTC进行的独立研究项目，为期9周的专业发展研讨会，生物伦理学研讨会，各种网络活动，以及全校范围内的研究会议，学生将向更广泛的社区展示他们的研究项目。该项目的招聘工作包括“硬拷贝”和数字广告，以及通过REU校友和教职员工的网络活动。该计划的目标是在学生学术生涯的早期阶段为他们提供研究培训，并鼓励他们不仅完成他们的科学本科学位，而且考虑研究生水平的培训和科学事业。因此，学生的选择是基于他们的学习成绩、推荐信、对生态、进化和发展领域的具体兴趣以及未来的职业目标。对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的学位课程的完成情况以及研究经历对他们职业道路的影响。前后调查以及REU通用评估工具将用于评估该计划。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://biology.sfsu.edu/faculty-pages/reu，或与PI（卡门·多明戈博士cdomingo@sfsu.edu）或副PI（萨拉·科恩博士sarahcoh@sfsu.edu）联系。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to San Francisco State University (SFSU) that will provide research training for 10 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2012- 2016. The program's focus is in the area of ecology, evolution, and developmental biology. REU fellows will work with an exceptionally diverse team of REU mentors with active extramurally funded research labs, many of which are located at SFSU's marine station, the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC). The program will feature a one-week intensive lab/lecture/field methods course, a 9-week independent research project conducted on the main campus or at RTC, a 9-week professional development seminar, a bioethics workshop, a variety of networking activities, and a campus-wide research conference where students present their research projects to the broader community. The program's recruitment effort consists of "hard copy" and digitally based advertising, as well as through networking activities by REU alumni and faculty. The goals of this program are to provide research training for students at an early stage of their academic careers and to encourage them to not only complete their undergraduate degrees in the sciences but also to consider graduate-level training and careers in the sciences. Therefore, students are selected based on their academic record, letters of recommendation, specific interest in the area of ecology, evolution, and development, and future career goals. Students are tracked to determine completion of their degree program and the impact of the research experience on their career path. Pre and post surveys as well as an REU common assessment tool will be used to evaluate the program.
