The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory offers summer experiences designed to help students learn more about ecology, evolution, and behavior in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Classes are designed to get students into the field and work with top scientists from around the world. In 2007 the RMBL will offer Field Ecology, Conservation Biology, Physiology of Animal Behavior, Field Mammalogy, Ecology and Conservation of Freshwater Invertebrates, and Field Botany. Additionally, students may take an independent research option and conduct a project with the guidance of a scientist. Substantial financial aid is available. The RMBL also has four fellowships through the RMBL Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program that are designed to help students considering a career in field biology. Students take Field Ecology (or an equivalent class) and design and conduct a research project under the guidance of a senior scientist. The RMBL covers the cost of tuition, room, board, and transportation for the Fellows. The submission deadline for coursework applications is April 1^st . Positions through the RMBL's Research Experience for Undergraduates Program are also available (deadline Feb 15^th ).
