Western Michigan University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Environmental Signal Transduction for ten students. The goal is to foster the development of undergraduate students as future research scientists. Students are provided exciting research projects in a cooperative learning environment that instills an understanding of interdisciplinary research. University facilities, including a new research building, and dedicated faculty mentors provide an excellent atmosphere for student success in the program. The 10-week summer program includes: (1) an independent research project under the guidance of faculty mentors, (2) a discussion series on the scientific process, ethics in science, and internationalization of research, and (3) opportunities for interaction, dissemination and development. Student participants are encouraged to attend weekly research symposia and give a brief presentation at the end of the program. Students also prepare a research paper and are encouraged to prepare abstracts for presentation at scientific meetings. Students will be recruited regionally throughout the Great Lakes area from colleges where research opportunities are limited, as well as nationally. Under-represented minority students are especially encouraged to apply. More information, including an online application, is available at http://www.wmich.edu/nsf-ru, or by contacting Dr. Susan Stapleton at [e-mail] or [e-mail].

西密歇根大学将为 10 名学生举办环境信号转导本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。目标是促进本科生发展成为未来的研究科学家。学生在合作学习环境中获得令人兴奋的研究项目，从而逐渐了解跨学科研究。大学设施，包括新的研究大楼和敬业的教师导师，为学生在该项目中取得成功提供了良好的氛围。为期10周的暑期项目包括：（1）在教师导师指导下的独立研究项目，（2）关于科学过程、科学伦理和研究国际化的系列讨论，以及（3）互动、传播和发展的机会。鼓励学生参与者参加每周的研究研讨会，并在项目结束时进行简短的演讲。学生还准备一篇研究论文，并鼓励他们准备摘要以在科学会议上展示。学生将从五大湖地区研究机会有限的大学以及全国范围内招募。特别鼓励代表性不足的少数族裔学生申请。更多信息，包括在线申请，请访问 http://www.wmich.edu/nsf-ru，或通过 [e-mail] 或 [e-mail] 联系 Susan Stapleton 博士。
