This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $324,987 to the Missouri Botanical Garden to support an Research Experiences for Undergraduates site award. The award will fund research training for 10 undergraduate students per summer over three years (2023-2025) at the Garden, totaling 30 trainees. Students will conduct individual research projects mentored by Garden scientists, focusing on botany and conservation biology. Projects will span areas such as plant ecology, restoration ecology, taxonomy, conservation biology, genetics, ethnobotany, and pollination biology. In addition to hands-on research, students will participate in seminars, group sessions, and present their results. The training is intended to provide underrepresented students opportunities to engage in practical research and potentially co-author scientific publications.
