This award provides funds to the Department of Biology at Emory University to continue a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates SITE in the broad area of Developmental Processes. Recruitment efforts will focus on students at primarily undergraduate institutions and on women and minority students in order to encourage underrepresented groups to consider careers in science. Each year ten students will be invited to participate based on academic records, evidence of research potential and interest, and recommendations from faculty at their home institution. The program has the following objectives: (1) to provide formal and informal introductions to the processes of science; (2) To provide an intensive research experience in one subdiscipline; (3) To provide perspective by examining alternative approaches to processes of development at different hierarchical levels; and, (4) To maximize participant interaction with other undergraduate and graduate researchers, their specific research mentor, and his/her research group. Students will select a research mentor and project from the following areas: genes and development, cellular differentiation, development of behavior, and developmental processes in ecology and evolution. Students will work under the direct guidance of one of the 22 participating research mentors. All participants will attend workshops on scientific methodology, research design, data analysis and interpretation, and scientific communication skills. Students will design and conduct an independent project in consultation with their mentor. They will participate in weekly progress discussions with other student researchers and the project directors. Each focal area will also have weekly lab meetings to discuss project progress. Students will interact with their research mentor, his/her research group, including graduate students and technicians, and will attend departmental seminars. Each student will present his/her project at a research symposium at Emory; a written report will be "published" in the in-house journal, Undergraduate Research at Emory.

该奖项为埃默里大学（Emory University）的生物学系提供了资金，以继续在广泛的发展过程中为大学生的成功研究经验。 招聘工作将集中于主要是本科机构和妇女和少数族裔学生的学生，以鼓励代表性不足的团体考虑科学职业。 每年，将邀请十名学生根据学术记录，研究潜力和兴趣的证据以及其家庭机构的教师的建议参加。 该计划具有以下目标：（1）为科学过程提供正式和非正式的介绍； （2）在一个子学科中提供深入的研究经验； （3）通过检查不同层次级别发展过程的替代方法来提供观点； （4）为了最大程度地与其他本科和研究生研究人员，他们的特定研究导师以及​​他/她的研究小组最大化参与者的互动。 学生将从以下领域选择研究导师和项目：基因和发展，生态学和进化中的细胞分化，行为发展以及发展过程。 学生将在22位参与研究导师之一的直接指导下工作。 所有参与者将参加有关科学方法论，研究设计，数据分析和解释以及科学沟通技巧的研讨会。 学生将与他们的导师协商设计和执行独立项目。 他们将与其他学生研究人员和项目导演进行每周的进度讨论。 每个焦点区域还将举行每周的实验室会议，以讨论项目进度。 学生将与他们的研究导师，他/她的研究小组，包括研究生和技术人员进行互动，并将参加部门研讨会。每个学生将在埃默里（Emory）的一项研究研讨会上展示自己的项目；书面报告将在埃默里（Emory）的本科生研究中“发布”。
