The Biology Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Leadership Council (LC) will lead this project to develop, test and implement an on-line common tracking tool for use by the Biology REU Principal Investigator (PI) community. Data collected from REU program alumni will document the long-term impact of the REU experience on students? future career decisions and provide assessment data to Principal Investigators to use in modifying and updating their programs. In addition, it will allow the Biology REU LC to document program-wide outcomes, including information about the program elements that contribute to success for diverse populations of students, thereby supporting broadening participation in the REU programs. The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) provide Bio REU Principal Investigators with a web-based tool that allows them to efficiently and effectively track their program alumni, 2) work with the Bio REU Principal Investigators to define a set of criteria to create REU program profiles that can be used in the analysis of program-wide assessment and tracking data, and 3) collect and aggregate data from across Bio REU sites using the common tracking tool to assess long-term outcomes of the program as a whole.

本科生生物学研究经验 (REU) 领导委员会 (LC) 将领导该项目开发、测试和实施供生物学 REU 首席研究员 (PI) 社区使用的在线通用跟踪工具。从 REU 项目校友收集的数据将记录 REU 经历对学生的长期影响？未来的职业决策，并向首席研究员提供评估数据，以用于修改和更新他们的计划。此外，它还将使生物 REU LC 能够记录整个项目的成果，包括有助于不同学生群体取得成功的项目要素的信息，从而支持扩大 REU 项目的参与。该提案的目标是：1) 为 Bio REU 首席研究员提供基于网络的工具，使他们能够高效、有效地跟踪其项目校友，2) 与 Bio REU 首席研究员合作，定义一套标准来创建 REU 项目概况，可用于分析整个项目的评估和跟踪数据，以及 3) 使用通用跟踪工具收集和汇总来自 Bio REU 站点的数据，以评估长期情况 整个计划的成果。有关该项目的更多信息，请联系项目总监 Janet Branchaw 博士 ([e-mail]) 和 Julio Soto 博士 ([e-mail])。
