REU Site: Understanding biological responses to global change in a field station community

该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。位于密歇根州胡桃角的密歇根州立大学凯洛格生物站(KBS)将获得这一REU场地奖，该奖项将在2022-2024年夏季支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。预计共有30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。学生将学习如何进行研究、专业发展和领导技能，许多学生将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。将通过SALG Urssa在线工具对该方案进行评估。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。KBS的REU学生将进行研究，以了解生物体和生态系统如何应对全球变化，在这种知识比以往任何时候都更重要的时候。在海鸥湖上一个美丽的野外考察站，研究人员和其他STEM专业人员组成了一个紧密联系的社区，REU的学生将受益于与学者和暑期项目参与者的定期互动，参加专业发展研讨会，以及领导力、包容性和研究道德培训。他们还将练习向不同的受众交流他们的科学知识，并参加一个夏末研究研讨会。暑期课程的申请在1月至3月期间由学术项目协调员和主要导师滚动审查。导师来自综合生物学、植物生物学、渔业和野生动植物、植物、土壤和微生物科学系。研究项目从研究不同的农业措施如何改变土壤排放的温室气体，到气候变暖下彩龟的长期种群动态，不一而足。学生们带着对科学是如何进行的，以及它如何为我们在人类世所面临的紧迫问题提供信息的理解离开。欲了解更多信息，请访问：www.kbs.msu.edu/education/undergraduate-program/research-experiences-for-undergraduates-reu/，或联系国际和平组织(萨拉·埃文斯博士，evanssa6@msu.edu)或联合国际组织(弗雷德·詹森博士，电子邮件：janzenf1@msu.edu)。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价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This REU Site award to Michigan State University’s Kellogg Biological Station (KBS), located in Hickory Corners, MI, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, professional development and leadership skills, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.REU students at KBS will conduct research to understand how organisms and ecosystems respond to global changes, in a time when this knowledge is more essential than ever. In a close knit community of researchers and other STEM professionals at a beautiful field station on Gull Lake, REU students will benefit from regular interactions with scholars and summer program participants, participation in professional development workshops, and leadership, inclusion, and research ethics trainings. They will also practice communicating their science to a wide variety of audiences and participate in an end-of-summer research symposium. Applications for summer sessions are reviewed by the Academic Programs Coordinator and primary mentors on a rolling basis between January and March. Mentors come from departments of Integrative Biology, Plant Biology, Fisheries and Wildlife, and Plant, Soil, and Microbial Sciences. Research projects range from examining how different agricultural practices change greenhouse gases emitted from soil, to long-term population dynamics of painted turtles under a warming climate. Students leave with an understanding of how science is conducted, and how it informs pressing issues like those we face in the Anthropocene.
