An award was made to the Marine Biological Laboratory to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, for the summers of 2010-2012. This award is also supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO). The Biological Discovery in Woods Hole program will focus on the molecular and cellular processes that give rise to and regulate complex physiological systems that mediate organismal behavior. The program's goal is to recruit highly motivated students, especially from underrepresented groups and/or schools with limited research opportunities, and to immerse them in research programs under the guidance of mentors selected from visiting summer investigators or year-round scientists at the MBL. Interested students should access the program's website, and submit applications electronically, where they will be reviewed by the admissions committee, with notification in early spring. Each student will be assigned an individual mentor based on mutual interest. We expect the students to be fully integrated into the laboratory and actively participate in the mentor's research program. To augment the research experience, students will participate in field trips, and attend weekly course meetings, seminars and/or luncheons that will explore a wide range of topics to encourage pursuit of a career in biological sciences. The students will also attend lectures on ethics and responsible conduct in research offered by the long running MBL course, Summer Program in Neuroscience Ethics and Survival. The program will culminate in an undergraduate research symposium and poster presentation at the MBL. In conjunction with the MBL education department, we will use the "Kirkpatrick Model" for course assessment. Student experiences will be evaluated at the end of each summer and students will be queried each year after they graduate from the program, to track their career. PI Allen F.

在2010-2012夏季，向海洋生物实验室颁发了奖励，为10周学生提供10周的研究培训。 该奖项也得到了地球科学局（GEO）局海洋科学司（OCE）的支持。 伍兹洞计划中的生物发现将集中于产生并调节介导有机行为的复杂生理系统的分子和细胞过程。 该计划的目标是招募有积极进取的学生，尤其是来自代表性不足的群体和/或研究机会有限的学校，并在MBL访问夏季调查人员或全年科学家的导师的指导下将其浸入研究计划中。 有兴趣的学生应访问该计划的网站，并以电子方式提交申请，并在早春招生委员会对他们进行审查，并在早春进行通知。 每个学生将根据共同利益分配一个个人导师。 我们希望学生能够完全融入实验室，并积极参与导师的研究计划。 为了增强研究经验，学生将参加实地考察，并参加每周的课程会议，研讨会和/或午餐会，这些会议将探索各种各样的主题，以鼓励从事生物科学的职业。 学生还将参加长期运行的MBL课程，神经科学伦理和生存的夏季计划提供的有关道德和负责任的行为的讲座。 该计划将在MBL的本科研究研讨会和海报演示中达到高潮。 与MBL教育部门一起，我们将使用“ Kirkpatrick模型”进行课程评估。 学生的经历将在每个夏天结束时进行评估，学生将在计划毕业后每年都会查询以跟踪自己的职业。 Pi Allen F.
