This award provides funds to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota. The ten-week program will emphasize student participation in the research activities of faculty affiliated with the Center for Cognitive Sciences. Eleven undergraduates will participate with support from NSF. The focus on recruitment will be under-represented groups and undergraduates from small colleges in the upper Midwest with limited research opportunities. Students will: (1) work as a full member of their faculty mentor'' research team; (2) complete a research project including a written report and oral presentation to peers and participating faculty; (3) participate in a multidisciplinary research training seminar for credit; and (4) participate in a special non-credit 'Master Student' course. Seminar activities 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 includes 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. Participation in special social and cultural 'team-building' events as well as common housing in a University dorm is designed to foster a strong community of students.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项提供资金，继续在认知和行为科学在明尼苏达大学的本科生网站的研究经验。 为期十周的课程将强调学生参与认知科学中心附属教师的研究活动。 11名本科生将在NSF的支持下参加。 招聘的重点将是代表性不足的群体和来自上中西部研究机会有限的小型学院的本科生。 学生将：（1）作为他们的教师导师的研究团队的正式成员工作;（2）完成一个研究项目，包括书面报告和口头报告，以同行和参与教师;（3）参加多学科研究培训研讨会的信贷;和（4）参加一个特殊的非信贷“硕士生”课程。 研讨会活动包括由项目教师和相关领域的教师在校园范围内，实验室图尔斯参观，并在研究工具，设计和伦理讲座介绍。 完全整合的课程包括学生学习特定研究方法的机会，在自己的研究背景下应用这些方法，并研究与认知科学相关的广泛概念和方法论问题。 参与特殊的社会和文化“团队建设”活动以及在大学宿舍的共同住房旨在培养一个强大的学生社区。该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验吸引有才华的学生进入科学事业。
