9322052 Rowland该奖项为佛罗里达大学心理学系在心理生物学领域建立REU网站提供支持。申请人将从美国东南部的学校征集，特别强调较小的本科和/或少数民族机构，学生没有机会获得研究经验。入选的8名申请者将在佛罗里达大学度过12周，在此期间，他们将在一位教师导师的直接指导下完成一个小型研究项目。10名主要教师，都在一般领域有活跃的研究项目，将与几名附属教师和研究生助理一起参加。各种观察、外科、生化、计算机和其他分析技术可供学生使用。除了研究之外，学生还将参加课堂课程，该课程将涵盖一系列相关问题，包括教师研究，伦理问题，实验设计和心理生物学原理。学生将通过提交研究项目的中期和期末口头报告来学习沟通技巧。＊＊＊

9322052 Rowland This award provides support to the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida to establish an REU site in the field of psychobiology. Applicants will be solicited from schools in the Southeastern United States, with special emphasis on smaller undergraduate and/or minority institutions at which students do not otherwise have an opportunity for gaining research experience. The eight selected applicants will spend 12 weeks at UF, during which time they will complete a small research project under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor. Ten primary faculty, all with active research programs in the general field, will participate along with several affiliated faculty and graduate assistants. A variety of observational, surgical, biochemical, computer, and other analytical techniques are available to the students. In addition to research, students will attend a classroom course which will cover a range of relevant issues including faculty research, ethical issues, experimental design, and principles of psychobiology. The students will learn communication skills by giving interim and final oral reports of their research projects. ***
