This award provides funds to continue an REU Site at the University of Minnesota Center for Research in Learning, Perception, and Cognition. Ten students each year, over a three year period, will be selected for eight week sessions in the summer to work with cognitive science faculty affiliated with the Center. The majority of the students will be selected from small liberal arts colleges in the upper midwest with limited research opportunities. Students will: (1) work as full members of their faculty mentor's research team; (2) complete a research project including a written report and oral presentation to peers and faculty; (3) participate in a multidisciplinary research training seminar for credit; and (4) participate in a special non-credit 'Master Student' course. Seminar activities will include presentations by program faculty and faculty in related areas campus-wide, laboratory tours, and lectures on research tools, design, and ethics. The fully integrated program will include opportunities for the students to learn specific research methods, to apply these methods in the context of their own research, and to examine broad conceptual and methodological issues relating to the cognitive sciences. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为明尼苏达大学学习、感知和认知研究中心的REU站点提供资金。在三年的时间里，每年将选出十名学生，在夏季参加为期八周的课程，与该中心附属的认知科学教师一起工作。大多数学生将从中西部北部的小型文理学院中挑选，这些学院的研究机会有限。学生将：(1)成为导师研究团队的正式成员；(2)完成一项研究项目，包括一份书面报告和向同行和教师的口头报告；(3)参加多学科研究培训研修班取得学分；(4)参加特殊的非学分“硕士研究生”课程。研讨会活动将包括项目教师和相关领域的教师在校园范围内的演讲，实验室参观，以及关于研究工具，设计和道德的讲座。全面整合的课程将包括学生学习特定研究方法的机会，将这些方法应用于他们自己的研究中，并研究与认知科学相关的广泛概念和方法问题。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科研究经历吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。
