REU Site: Physiology, Ecology, and Development in Changing Oceans (PEDCO)

该REU Site奖授予华盛顿大学位于华盛顿州星期五港湾的星期五港口实验室，将支持15名学生在2022-2024年夏季进行为期8周的培训。预计共有45名学生将在该方案中接受培训，这些学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体。来自研究机会有限的机构的各种积极的年轻科学家和学生的申请受到鼓励。特别鼓励HBCU、少数民族服务机构和社区大学生申请。学生将学习研究是如何进行的，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。对该计划的评估将通过在线评估工具进行。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。这一REU侧重于海洋环境，重点是海洋生态学、发育生物学、疾病生态学和生理学。来自生物学、海洋学、林业、野生动物和渔业系的导师将参与其中。该计划包括一对一的指导以及横向主题的小组培训，这些主题包括研究中的伦理、统计、职业道路、偏见和多样性。学生应通过门户网站(下图)提出申请。申请者将由私人投资总监和导师根据论文、研究兴趣和推荐信进行挑选，以招募具有各种学术经验的不同群体。研究项目的实例包括装甲海岸的生态、小型底栖动物的进化、鱼类的盔甲、海草疾病生态，以及利用显微CT扫描和系统发育比较方法的鱼类进化形态。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-research/summer-研究-实习/，或联系国际组织(Adam Summers博士，电子邮件：Fish Guy@uw.edu)或联合国际组织(艾米·库克博士，cooka@evergreen.edu)。该奖项由生物科学局的生物基础设施部和地球科学局的海洋科学部支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU Site Award to the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, in Friday Harbor, WA, will support the training of 15 students for 8 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 45 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Applications are encouraged from a diverse group of motivated young scientists and students from institutions with limited opportunities for research. HBCU, minority serving institutions, and community college students are especially encouraged to apply. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through an online assessment tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.This REU focuses on the marine environment, with an emphasis on marine ecology, developmental biology, disease ecology, and physiology. Mentors from the Departments of Biology, Oceanography, Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries will be involved. The program includes one on one mentoring as well as group training in cross cutting topics that include ethics in research, statistics, career pathways, bias, and diversity. Students should apply through the web portal (below). Applicants will be selected by the PIs and mentors based on essays, interest in research, and letters of recommendation to recruit a diverse cohort with a range of academic experience. REU participants are selected by mentors and principal investigators Examples of research projects include the ecology of armored shores, evolution of meiofaunal organisms, armor in fishes, seagrass disease ecology, and evolutionary morphology of fishes using micro-CT scanning and phylogenetic comparative methods. More information about the program is available by visiting https://fhl.uw.edu/research/student-financial-aid-for-research/summer- research-internships/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Adam Summers at fishguy@uw.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Amy Cook cooka@evergreen.edu).This award is supported by the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Division of Ocean Sciences in the Directorate for Geosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
