该奖项继续支持明尼苏达大学认知与行为科学暑期本科生研究项目。这个为期十周的课程将强调学生参与认知科学中心下属教师的研究活动。将从全国各地选拔11名本科生。他们将(1)作为导师研究团队的正式成员；(2)向同行和参与的教师进行口头报告，并就项目期间所从事的研究项目撰写正式报告；(3)参加专门讨论研究伦理、技术写作和研究生学习准备的讲习班；(4)参加每周三次的多学科研究培训研讨会。研讨会活动包括教师演讲、实验室参观和实地考察。综合课程为参与者提供了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，并研究与认知科学和相关领域相关的广泛概念和方法问题。参与特殊的社会和文化团队建设活动以及大学宿舍的共同住房旨在培养强大的学生社区。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。

This award continues support for the Summer Undergraduate Research Program in the Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota. This ten-week program will emphasize student participationh in the research activities of faculty affiliated with the Center for Cognitive Sciences. Eleven undergraduates will be selected from across the country. They will (1) work as a full member of a faculty mentor's research team; (2) give an oral presentation to peers and participating faculty and write a formal report on the research project engaged during the program; (3) take part in workshops devoted to research ethics, technical writing, and preparation for graduate studies; and (4) participate in a thrice-weekly multidisciplinary research training seminar. Seminar activities include presentations by faculty, laboratory tours, and field trips. The integrated program includes opportunities for the participants to learn specific research methods, to apply these methods in the context of their own research, and to examine broad conceptual and methodological issues relevant to the cognitive sciences and related areas. Participation in special social and cultural team building events as well as common housing in a university dormitory 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.
