An award has been made to the University of Massachusetts Boston to manage, in collaboration with the BIO REU Leadership Committee, the BIO REU Travel Scholarship program. Travel scholarships will be provided to students who have participated in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, especially those programs funded or co-funded by the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO). These travel scholarships will ensure that students experience the full scope of "doing science" by affording them the opportunity to present their work to their scientific peers. The goal of the Travel Scholarship Program is to provide financial assistance to undergraduate researchers to enable them to present their work at a national scientific meeting. Students will apply for funds on-line at http://www.bioreu.org. A committee of REU mentors will review the applications, which include the student's abstract of the research, letters of recommendation from the research mentors and/or REU site directors, and an essay on the anticipated professional development outcomes of attendance and presentation. Awards will be based on the application and the potential impact of the travel scholarship on the student's career, with priority given to participants of BIO funded or co-funded REU programs. Selected papers will be featured in the http://www.bioreu.org website in order to communicate the results of the research to the broader scientific community and the public. This project will assess the impacts of the activity on the students' career choice. Additional information is available at http://www.bioreu.org or by contacting Dr. Robyn Hannigan ([e-mail]).

马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校被授予与BIO REU领导委员会合作管理BIO REU旅行奖学金计划的奖项。旅行奖学金将提供给参加过本科生研究体验(REU)项目的学生，特别是那些由NSF生物科学局(BIO)资助或共同资助的项目。这些旅行奖学金将通过为学生提供机会向他们的科学同行展示他们的工作来确保他们体验到全面的“做科学”。旅行奖学金计划的目标是为本科生研究人员提供经济援助，使他们能够在全国科学会议上展示他们的工作。学生将在http://www.bioreu.org.上在线申请资金REU导师委员会将审查申请，其中包括学生的研究摘要，研究导师和/或REU网站主任的推荐信，以及一篇关于出席和演讲的预期职业发展成果的论文。奖励将基于旅行奖学金的申请和对学生职业生涯的潜在影响，优先考虑BIO资助或联合资助的REU项目的参与者。选定的论文将在http://www.bioreu.org网站上发表，以便向更广泛的科学界和公众传播研究结果。本项目将评估该活动对学生职业选择的影响。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.bioreu.org或联系罗宾·汉尼根博士([e-mail])。
