This REU site at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is partially supported by the Department of Defense through an interagency agreement with the National Science Foundation. The REU program is part of a larger summer Undergraduate Research Program (URP) at CSHL, providing an opportunity for students to learn about bioinformatics and computational biology by conducting intensive research under the supervision of a mentor. Ten students are accepted to the 10-week NSF REU summer research program. Students learn about scientific reasoning, laboratory methods, theoretical principles, and scientific communication. In addition to research, participants attend seminars, workshops, panel discussions on careers in science, lectures on ethics, and special events designed specifically for them. At the URP Symposium held at the end of each summer, students present a summary of their research to their peers and advisors. Students also write a final report, similar to a scientific abstract, to describe his or her project. Students are also encouraged to attend advanced courses at CSHL to learn the latest experimental techniques in different fields and to seek advice about their future schooling and research. By the end of the program, students are well equipped to decide whether scientific research is a career they would like to pursue. The program is open to all US citizens or permanent residents, and applications from under-represented minority groups are encouraged.

这个位于冷泉港实验室(CSHL)的REU地点由国防部通过与国家科学基金会达成的机构间协议提供部分支持。REU项目是CSHL更大的暑期本科生研究项目(URP)的一部分，通过在导师的监督下进行深入研究，为学生提供学习生物信息学和计算生物学的机会。10名学生被录取参加为期10周的NSF REU暑期研究项目。学生学习科学推理、实验室方法、理论原理和科学交流。除了研究，参与者还参加研讨会、研讨会、关于科学职业的小组讨论、关于伦理的讲座，以及专门为他们设计的特别活动。在每年夏末举行的URP研讨会上，学生们会向他们的同龄人和顾问介绍他们的研究总结。学生还会写一份期末报告，类似于科学摘要，来描述他或她的项目。学生还被鼓励参加CSHL的高级课程，学习不同领域的最新实验技术，并就他们未来的教育和研究寻求建议。到项目结束时，学生们已经做好了充分的准备，可以决定科学研究是否是他们想要追求的职业。该计划向所有美国公民或永久居民开放，并鼓励代表人数不足的少数群体提出申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问www.cshl.edu/urp/nsf-reu或联系沃森生物科学学院，电话：516-367-6911，电子邮件：[e-mail]。
