The OTS Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) was designed for
advanced biology students interested in conducting field research under
the supervision of an experienced tropical ecologist. OTS will support ten
undergraduates, selected through a competitive application process, for an
eight-week research program at the world-renowned
La Selva Biological
Station in the Caribbean
lowlands of Costa Rica. In collaboration with a
research mentor, students will design, conduct, and present
field research
projects at La Selva. The program will provide students with a first-hand
look at the challenges and rewards of tropical field research. Students
will participate in a rich academic field environment, including research
presentations, discussions, an ethics component focusing on issues in
tropical biology and conservation. In addition, participants will have
access to the social, cultural, and recreational activities of the rural
communities surrounding La Selva.
