An award has been made to the University of Connecticut that will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2010-1012. The Department of Physiology and Neurobiology (PNB) will offer research opportunities to undergraduate sophomores and juniors from non-Ph.D. granting institutions. The students will participate in graduate level research projects on physiological and neural systems in animals. The goal is expose students to a career in scientific research, and to increase student applications to graduate programs in basic science. Students are selected on the basis of their academic record, personal and professional goals described in a required essay, and letters of recommendation. Students are housed together, and work with faculty mentors on their own research project. Professional development activities and social events are planned. Seminars introduce students to topics such as safe practices in the laboratories, ethical issues in science, how to apply to graduate school, and how to present research results effectively. An end-of-session symposium features student platform and poster presentations. The program is assessed using interviews, observation, and surveys, including the web-based assessment tool common to the REU Sites program.

已向康涅狄格大学颁发了一笔奖金，该大学将在2010- 2012年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。 生理学和神经生物学（PNB）的部门将提供研究机会，本科生和大三学生从非博士。授予机构。学生将参加研究生水平的研究项目在动物的生理和神经系统。 其目标是让学生接触到科学研究的职业生涯，并增加学生对基础科学研究生课程的申请。学生是根据他们的学习成绩，个人和职业目标所描述的必需的文章，以及推荐信的基础上选择的。 学生们住在一起，并与教师导师对自己的研究项目。 专业发展活动和社会活动的计划。研讨会向学生介绍的主题，如在实验室的安全实践，在科学伦理问题，如何申请研究生院，以及如何有效地呈现研究成果。 一个会议结束专题讨论会的特点是学生平台和海报演示。该计划通过访谈、观察和调查进行评估，包括REU网站计划常见的基于网络的评估工具。更多信息可在http：//www.pnb.uconn.edu/wwwpnb/PNB_Base/about/reu/index.html上查阅，或通过larry.renfro@ uconn.edu与Larry Renfro博士联系。
