During the 12-week program, participants will complete independent ecological research projects under the guidance of IES staff scientists. Students will have full use of IES field, laboratory, and library facilities while they develop scientific inquiry and procedural skills. The group will also explore the broader contexts- socio-economic, intellectual, political, ethical, and personal- within which research takes place. The participants will have ample opportunity for both formal and informal interaction with other students, research scientists, and a diverse group of guest speakers. Each student is required to prepare an oral presentation for a formal Undergraduate Research Symposium and a final paper for inclusion in an Institute Occasional Publication.Application forms and additional information can be found on the website: http://www.ecostudies.org/reu.html.
