9731885 This program will offer summer research experiences in the field of Psychobiology at the University of Florida (UF). Applicants will be solicited by mailings to schools in the Southeast United States, with special emphasis on smaller and/or minority institutions at which students do not otherwise have an opportunity for significant research. Ten participants will be selected and will spend 12 weeks at UF (mid-May through early August). To facilitate group cohesiveness and interaction, they will be housed in an apartment residence on campus. Over the 12 weeks, each participant will complete a research project under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor. The primary faculty will give their time to this program; each has an active research program in psychobiology, with the range of emphasis spanning molecular and animal studies through cognitive neuroscience. In addition to the primary faculty, affiliated faculty, staff, and graduate students will be available to help the participants. Students also will attend a small-group tutorial to cover the essentials of biological psychology, as well as a periodic lecture for the group on topics including ethics, experimental design, and career development. They will learn communicative skills by preparing and presenting oral and written reports.

9731885 该项目将提供佛罗里达大学 (UF) 心理生物学领域的夏季研究经验。 申请人将通过邮寄到美国东南部的学校来招揽，特别关注规模较小和/或少数族裔的机构，因为这些机构的学生没有机会进行重要的研究。 将选出 10 名参与者，并将在佛罗里达大学度过 12 周（五月中旬至八月初）。 为了促进团队凝聚力和互动，他们将被安置在校园内的公寓内。 在 12 周内，每位参与者将在导师的直接监督下完成一个研究项目。 主要教师将投入时间参与该项目；每个项目都有一个活跃的心理生物学研究项目，重点范围涵盖分子和动物研究到认知神经科学。 除了主要教师之外，附属教师、工作人员和研究生也将为参与者提供帮助。 学生还将参加涵盖生物心理学基础知识的小组教程，以及定期为小组举办的讲座，主题包括伦理、实验设计和职业发展。 他们将通过准备和提交口头和书面报告来学习沟通技巧。
