REU Site: Summer Research Projects in Neuroscience

该项目由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。密苏里州哥伦比亚大学REU神经科学项目将在2010- 2012年夏季为12名学生提供为期9周的研究培训。该计划在神经科学领域有广泛的有趣和令人兴奋的跨学科项目，包括湿实验室和计算组件。研究项目来自神经科学的各个层面（细胞内/细胞，系统和行为），参与教师来自艺术科学，工程和兽医学院。密苏里大学是密苏里州最大的高等学府，也是密苏里州大学系统的旗舰校区。校园里有一个充满活力的夏季研究项目，REU的学生每年夏天都会加入一个由来自美国各地的100多名本科研究人员组成的小组。预计学生将做全职实验室研究，以及参加研讨会和各种讲习班，从事的主题，如研究，专业沟通技巧，在工业和学术界的职业机会，以及研究生院申请过程中的负责任的行为。该计划的多阶段招聘工作包括定期邮寄和基于数字的广告。学生的选择是基于学习成绩，研究表现和神经科学杰出研究的潜力。学生被跟踪，以确定他们对学习的学术领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经验的持久影响。该计划将通过各种手段进行评估，包括REU通用评估工具。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://biomod.ece.missouri.edu，或联系主要研究者（Satish Nair博士，nairs@missouri.edu）或共同主要研究者（雷克斯科克罗夫特博士，cocroftr@missouri.edu）。

This project is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The University of Missouri Columbia (MU) REU program in neuroscience will provide research training for 9 weeks for 12 students, during the summers of 2010- 2012. The program has a wide range of interesting and exciting interdisciplinary projects in neuroscience, with both wet-lab and computational components. Research projects are drawn from all levels in neuroscience (intracellular/cellular, systems and behavioral), with participating faculty coming from the Colleges of Arts & Science, Engineering, and Veterinary Medicine. MU is the largest institution of higher learning in Missouri and the flagship campus of the University of Missouri system. There is a vibrant summer research program on campus, and REU students will join a group of over 100 undergraduate researchers from all over the US each summer. Students are expected to do full-time lab research as well as participate in seminars and various workshops, engaging in topics such as the responsible conduct in research, professional communication skills, career opportunities in industry and academia, and the graduate school application process. The program's multi-phase recruitment effort consists of both regular mailings as well as digital-based advertising. Students are selected based on academic record, research performance, and potential for outstanding research in neuroscience. Students are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. The program will be assessed by various means, including an REU common assessment tool.
