This interdisciplinary program emphasizes the science of behavior. Each summer 12 undergraduate students will be recruited to participate in this eight-week REU Site. REU student participants will be encouraged to investigate the causes and effects of human, animal, and human-animal interactions. This includes various aspects of the behavioral and social sciences including psychology, behavioral biology, ethology, anthropology, ethnohistory, and criminology. The academic objectives for this summer program are: provide students the opportunity to design and carry out a research project; enhance students' understanding of the scientific process; provide an educational environment in which to explore possible career choices in the various behavioral sciences; and help students understand the value that research can play in their occupational and personal lives. The Site will include an ethics-training component, as well as workshops on such topics as SPSS.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

这个跨学科的课程强调行为科学。每年夏天，12名本科生将被招募参加这个为期八周的REU网站。REU的学生参与者将被鼓励调查人类、动物和人与动物相互作用的原因和影响。这包括行为和社会科学的各个方面，包括心理学、行为生物学、行为学、人类学、民族史和犯罪学。这个暑期项目的学术目标是：为学生提供设计和实施研究项目的机会；提高学生对科学过程的理解；提供一个教育环境，让他们在各种行为科学领域探索可能的职业选择；帮助学生理解研究在他们的职业和个人生活中可以发挥的价值。该网站将包括道德培训部分，以及关于SPSS等主题的研讨会。该奖项有助于基金会通过活跃的本科生研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业生涯。
