REU Site: Pathways to Inclusive Science: Emerging Field Techniques

该REU场地奖授予位于科罗拉多州哥特市的落基山生物实验室，将在2023年夏天支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。该项目在与洛杉矶社区学院建立合作关系的基础上，面向全国招生。学生在网上申请，并提交论文和推荐信。该项目将对其产生重大影响的学生，包括那些在没有经济支持的情况下无法参与暑期研究的学生，鼓励他们提出申请。2023年，将有10名学生接受该项目的培训，他们主要来自研究机会有限的学校。目标是至少80%的参与者将是少数族裔学生，至少40%的学生将具有社区大学背景。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。大约三分之一的学生将在科学期刊上发表研究成果。将通过SALG Urssa在线工具对该方案进行评估。NSF ETAP系统将用于登记参与者。学生将被要求在NSF ETAP系统(etap.nsf.gov)注册，并在项目结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。该项目的主题是包容性科学之路：新兴领域技术。我们将为参与者提供培训和研究机会，以便将遥感和数据分析方面的新兴技术纳入实地科学。学生设计和实施实地研究计划，并在暑期结束时口头和书面陈述结果。学生还参与职业发展机会，包括负责任地进行研究的课程，现场安全和第九条培训，以及毕业生和职业机会。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://rmbl.org，或联系PI(Ian Billick博士，ibillick@rmbl.org)或联合PI(Ian Brecheimer博士，ikb@rmbl.org)。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已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 Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, located in Gothic, Colorado, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summer of 2023. The program recruits students nationally, building on established collaborative relationships with the Los Angeles community colleges. Students apply online, and submit essays and letters of reference. Students for whom the program will have a large impact, including students who would be unable to participate in summer research without financial support, are encouraged to apply. Ten students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program in 2023. The goal is that at least 80% of the participants will be minority students and at least 40% of the students will have a community college background. Students will learn how research is conducted, many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Approximately one-third of the students will publish results in scientific journals. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. The NSF ETAP system will be used to register participants. Students will be required to register in the NSF ETAP system (etap.nsf.gov) and tracked after the program to determine their career paths.The theme of the program is Pathways to Inclusive Science: Emerging Field Techniques. We will provide training and research opportunities for participants to integrate emerging techniques in remote sensing and data analytics into the field sciences. Students design and implement a field research program and present results orally and in writing at the end of the summer. Students also participate in professional development opportunities, including sessions on responsible conduct of research, training in field safety and Title IX, and graduate and career opportunities. More information about the program is available by visiting http://rmbl.org , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Ian Billick at ibillick@rmbl.org) or the co-PI (Dr. Ian Breckheimer at ikb@rmbl.org).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.
