将本科生研究和教师发展整合到传统天文学研究项目中
Integrating Undergraduate Research and Faculty Development in a Legacy Astronomy Research Project
摘要：
NSF赞助的本科ALUDERAFA团队（UAT）为来自23个美国公立和私立主要本科院校（PUI）的教师和学生提供长期合作研究机会，该项目在银河系外ALUDERAFA HI盲人遗产调查项目的背景下进行。在与阿雷西博和绿岸天文台合作的12个项目年中，UAT对传统天文学项目的健康，科学教育和天文学的公平/包容产生了明显的影响，373名UAT学生（39%女性;约30%代表性不足的群体成员）和34名教师（44%女性）取得了成功。UAT模型适用于许多大型科学项目，并且可以得到相对适度的资金支持。我们建议拨款机构确定支持该模式的资金来源，无论是作为传统赠款支持的附加内容，还是作为独立的资金来源。这可能包括在目前正在开发的大型项目中鼓励类似UAT的组件，例如LSST和TMT。通过这样做，我们将认识到PUI的大量天文学研究培训的重教学负荷教师是天文学界未充分利用的资源（另见Ribaudo等人的白皮书）。我们社区的这些成员有技能和强烈的愿望，有意义地贡献自己的领域，以及鼓励和互动的能力与来自各种背景的许多有才华和积极的本科生密切。
英文摘要：
The NSF-sponsored Undergraduate ALFALFA Team (UAT) promotes long-term collaborative research opportunities for faculty and students from 23 U.S. public and private primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) within the context of the extragalactic ALFALFA HI blind legacy survey project. Over twelve project years of partnering with Arecibo and Green Bank Observatories, the UAT has had a demonstrable impact on the health of a legacy astronomy project, science education, and equity/inclusion in astronomy, with successful outcomes for 373 UAT students (39% women; ~30% members of underrepresented groups) and 34 faculty (44% women). The UAT model is adaptable to many large scientific projects and can be supported by relatively modest funding. We recommend that granting agencies identify funding resources to support the model, either as an add-on to legacy grant support or as a stand-alone funding source. This could include encouragement of UAT-like components in large scale projects currently being developed, such as the LSST and TMT. By doing this, we will recognize the high numbers of astronomy research-trained heavy-teaching-load faculty at PUIs as an under-utilized resource of the astronomy community (see also White Paper by Ribaudo et al.). These members of our community have the skills and the strong desire to contribute meaningfully to their field, as well as the ability to encourage and interact closely with many talented and motivated undergraduate students from all backgrounds.
