A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) that will provide research training for 8 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2012- 2014. The program trains participants on the present and growing need to integrate biological research with sophisticated computational tools and techniques. CSHL has over 40 faculty members, including members of a newly established Quantitative Biology Department, who will serve as bioinformatics and computational biology mentors in fields ranging from plant biology to machine learning for biology. Through this NSF-REU support, students are afforded the opportunity to conduct full-time research in an appropriately matched lab based on mutual interests and goals. CSHL REU participants have access to individual and shared laboratory facilities such as flow cytometry, high throughput sequencing and analysis, imaging, and proteomics facilities. Participants attend multiple seminars and workshops, such as the responsible conduct in research, professional communication skills, the graduate school application process, and introduction to science careers. REU participants also are invited to attend the CSHL summer courses or meetings, which cover a range of topics such as Computational Neuroscience and Single Cell Analysis. All students are housed on campus within walking distance of their laboratories and the CSHL cafeteria, where they receive the majority of their meals. The multilayer recruitment effort consists of both traditional and digital mailings to potential students and their professors, as well as recruitment visits to universities throughout the country. Students are selected based on academic record, motivation for the proposed program of study, and potential as future researchers. Alumni successes are monitored to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the long-term impact of their research experience. Information about the program will be assessed using faculty and student evaluations, as well as the use of an REU common assessment tool. More information is available by visiting http://www.cshl.edu/education/urp/nsf-sponsored-reu-in-bioinformatics-and-computational-biology, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Zachary Lippman at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Doreen Ware at [e-mail]).

本科生（REU）研究经验网站奖已作出冷泉港实验室（CSHL），将提供8名学生的研究培训，在2012年至2014年夏季10周。该计划培训参与者目前和日益增长的需要，将生物研究与复杂的计算工具和技术相结合。CSHL拥有40多名教职员工，包括新成立的定量生物学系的成员，他们将担任从植物生物学到生物学机器学习等领域的生物信息学和计算生物学导师。通过这种NSF-REU支持，学生有机会在基于共同兴趣和目标的适当匹配的实验室进行全职研究。CSHL REU参与者可以使用个人和共享的实验室设施，如流式细胞术，高通量测序和分析，成像和蛋白质组学设施。参与者参加多个研讨会和讲习班，如负责任的研究行为，专业沟通技巧，研究生院申请过程，以及介绍科学职业。REU的参与者也被邀请参加CSHL的夏季课程或会议，其中涵盖了一系列主题，如计算神经科学和单细胞分析。所有学生都住在校园内，步行即可到达他们的实验室和CSHL自助餐厅，在那里他们获得了大部分的膳食。多层次的招聘工作包括向潜在的学生及其教授发送传统和数字邮件，以及对全国各地大学的招聘访问。学生是根据学习成绩，学习计划的动机，以及作为未来研究人员的潜力来选择的。校友的成功进行监测，以确定他们在学习的学术领域，他们的职业道路，以及他们的研究经验的长期影响的持续兴趣。有关该计划的信息将使用教师和学生的评价，以及使用一个REU共同评估工具进行评估。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//www.cshl.edu/education/urp/nsf-sponsored-reu-in-bioinformatics-and-computational-biology，或联系主要研究者（Zachary Lippman博士，网址：[e-mail]）或共同主要研究者（Doreen Ware博士，网址：[e-mail]）。
