This award will support the participation of 10 undergraduate students each year in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior (CISAB) at Indiana University, Bloomington. The program is ten weeks in length and focuses on recruiting undergraduate students from groups currently underrepresented in the sciences. This program is a new REU site that will build on the formal undergraduate internship program offered by CISAB for the past two years and on CISAB's collective experience with undergraduate training. Students will conduct research projects and present their findings at a concluding symposium. They will also attend (1) a team-taught course introducing research issues and techniques in the areas represented by CISAB faculty, (2) classes on mentoring and career issues taught via the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's campus-wide Summer Research Opportunities Program, and (3) seminars on ethics and conduct in science taught in conjunction with the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics & American Institutions. The program will give students intensive research experience and will introduce them to science as a profession, to interdisciplinary modes of thinking, and to specific research techniques used in the study of animal behavior. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in the diverse aspects of animal behavior.

该奖项将支持每年 10 名本科生参与由布卢明顿印第安纳大学动物行为综合研究中心 (CISAB) 提供的本科生研究体验项目。 该项目为期十周，重点是从目前科学领域代表性不足的群体中招募本科生。 该项目是 REU 的一个新项目，将以 CISAB 过去两年提供的正式本科生实习项目以及 CISAB 本科生培训的集体经验为基础。 学生将开展研究项目并在总结研讨会上展示他们的发现。 他们还将参加 (1) 团队授课的课程，介绍由 CISAB 教师代表的领域的研究问题和技术，(2) 通过机构合作委员会的全校夏季研究机会计划教授的指导和职业问题课程，以及 (3) 与波因特伦理与美国机构研究中心联合举办的关于科学伦理和行为的研讨会。 该项目将为学生提供深入的研究经验，并向他们介绍科学作为一种职业、跨学科的思维模式以及动物行为研究中使用的具体研究技术。 该奖项将促进对个人的继续教育和培训，这些个人将成为动物行为各个方面的下一代基础研究人员的一部分。
