REU Site Program for Increasing Diversity in Engineering at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering

该奖项为杜克大学提供资金，用于在杜克大学普拉特工程学院进行为期五年的REU现场计划，以增加多样性，该计划由Martha Absher女士指导。这个为期九周的暑期项目将为8名女性、少数族裔和残疾本科生提供深入的研究机会，项目涵盖广泛的主题，包括诊断和生物材料、医学成像、耳蜗植入和实体肿瘤中的药物运输。REU研究员将与一名普拉特研究员和/或研究生导师密切合作，在杜克大学校园的实验室中进行专门为他们设计的个人研究项目。

This award provides funding to Duke University for a five-year REU Site Program for Increasing Diversity at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, under the direction of Ms. Martha Absher. This nine-week summer program will provide in-depth research opportunities for 8 women, underrepresented minorities, and disabled undergraduate students in projects covering a wide range of topics including diagnostics and biomaterials, medical imaging, cochlear implants and drug transport in solid tumors. The REU Fellows will work closely with a Pratt researcher and/or graduate studentmentor on individual research projects especially designed for them in laboratories on the Duke campus.
