This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Hope College REU program in Computer Science provides promising undergraduates with an intensive and meaningful research experience that encourages them to consider a career in computer science research. The three year summer program exposes students to the techniques, attitudes, and rewards of computer science research, and provides encouragement and direction in the pursuit of research careers through close collaboration with faculty mentors on significant projects. The project engages students in projects that are focused on the intellectual theme of biomedical applications. Each year, the project supports the ten students, at least five of whom are from institutions other than Hope College. The students spend a minimum of 40 hours per week for 9 weeks on research activities. These students join at most five Hope College undergraduates on research teams that work with four faculty mentors. The mentors each lead a team of undergraduates in working on a research project that is usually part of the mentor?s research program. The study of the mechanics of research is a key component. Participants prepare a research report, a poster representing their work, and an online presentation of their research work and results. They also give presentations of the research at their home institutions. This continuing site (17 years) is redoubling efforts to recruit female and minority students and mentors. Intellectual Merit: The research projects are drawn from a number of important fields of Computer Science including bioinformatics, algorithms, wireless networks, and programming environment research, with focus on modern biomedical applications. Broader Impact: This program provides a model for a successful undergraduate research program that encourages the development of other strong programs involving a diverse group of faculty and students. It also prepares a cohort of undergraduates for successful research careers.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。霍普学院REU计算机科学项目为有前途的本科生提供了密集而有意义的研究经验，鼓励他们考虑从事计算机科学研究。这个为期三年的暑期项目让学生接触到计算机科学研究的技术、态度和回报，并通过与教师导师在重大项目上的密切合作，为追求研究事业提供鼓励和方向。该项目让学生参与的项目集中在生物医学应用的智力主题上。该项目每年资助10名学生，其中至少5名学生来自霍普学院以外的机构。学生们每周至少花40个小时进行9周的研究活动。这些学生最多加入五名霍普学院本科生的研究团队，与四名教师导师一起工作。每个导师都带领一个本科生团队进行一个研究项目，这个项目通常是导师的一部分。美国的研究项目。对研究机制的研究是一个关键组成部分。参与者准备一份研究报告，一张代表他们工作的海报，以及他们的研究工作和结果的在线演示。他们也会在自己的学校做研究报告。这个持续的网站（17年）正在加倍努力招募女性和少数民族学生和导师。智力优势：研究项目来自计算机科学的多个重要领域，包括生物信息学、算法、无线网络和编程环境研究，重点是现代生物医学应用。更广泛的影响：这个项目为一个成功的本科研究项目提供了一个模型，鼓励其他涉及不同群体的教师和学生的强大项目的发展。它还为成功的研究事业培养了一批本科生。
