ABSTRACTScience is an increasingly collaborative enterprise, and the Tufts University REU program in the Department of Biology trains students in collaborative, interdisciplinary research. The 10-week summer program entitled "Integrative approaches to studying recognition systems in cells, organisms, and populations" will provide 10 students the opportunity to work with two mentors, with one serving as the primary mentor, to conduct research using techniques from different disciplines (development, endocrinology, genetics, neurobiology, animal behavior, plant ecology, conservation biology, and engineering). In addition to designing and conducting an independent research project, students will participate in weekly discussions and seminars, periodic field trips, and a symposium. Overall, the goals of this summer program are to increase students' proficiency in biological research and collaborative skills, to educate and inspire students toward future research careers, and to develop students' ability to effectively communicate scientific results. The Tufts REU program provides students with a stipend, free housing, and assistance with travel expenses to and from Tufts. Tufts REU Site is committed to providing research opportunities for undergraduates, including students traditionally underrepresented in science and those who might not have such opportunities at their home institutions.

摘要科学是一个越来越多的合作企业，塔夫茨大学生物系的REU项目培养学生进行合作，跨学科的研究。为期10周的暑期课程题为“综合方法研究细胞，生物体和种群中的识别系统”将为10名学生提供与两名导师合作的机会，其中一名作为主要导师，使用不同学科的技术进行研究（发展，内分泌学，遗传学，神经生物学，动物行为学，植物生态学，保护生物学和工程）。 除了设计和进行一个独立的研究项目，学生将参加每周的讨论和研讨会，定期实地考察和研讨会。总的来说，这个暑期课程的目标是提高学生在生物研究和协作技能的熟练程度，教育和激励学生对未来的研究事业，并培养学生有效地沟通科学成果的能力。塔夫茨REU计划为学生提供助学金，免费住宿，并协助往返塔夫茨的旅行费用。 塔夫茨REU网站致力于为本科生提供研究机会，包括传统上在科学中代表性不足的学生和那些在家乡机构可能没有这样的机会的学生。欲了解更多信息，请参阅http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/undergrad/research/reu.asp或联系菲尔斯塔克斯在philip.starks@ tufts.edu。
