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.

向海洋生物实验室颁发了一笔奖金，在2010 - 2012年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。 该奖项还得到了地球科学局（GEO）海洋科学处（OCE）的支持。 生物发现在伍兹霍尔计划将集中在分子和细胞过程，产生和调节复杂的生理系统，介导生物体的行为。 该计划的目标是招募积极性很高的学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体和/或研究机会有限的学校，并在从访问夏季调查员或MBL全年科学家中选出的导师的指导下，让他们沉浸在研究项目中。 有兴趣的学生应该访问该计划的网站，并提交电子申请，在那里他们将被招生委员会审查，并在早春通知。 每个学生将被分配一个基于共同兴趣的个人导师。 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。 为了增加研究经验，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，将探讨广泛的主题，以鼓励追求生物科学的职业生涯。 学生们还将参加由长期运行的MBL课程，神经科学道德和生存暑期课程提供的道德和负责任的行为研究讲座。 该计划将在MBL的本科生研究研讨会和海报展示中达到高潮。 与MBL教育部门合作，我们将使用"柯克帕特里克模型"进行课程评估。 学生的经验将在每年夏天结束时进行评估，学生将每年从该计划毕业后进行查询，以跟踪他们的职业生涯。 PI艾伦F.明尼苏达大学杜卢斯Mensinger; www.example.com。
