REU: Biological Discovery in Woods Hole

这REU网站奖海洋生物实验室（MBL），位于伍兹霍尔，马，将支持10名学生在2014年至2016年夏季10周的培训。该奖项由生物科学局（生物基础设施司）和地球科学局（海洋科学司）支持。REU计划将专注于产生和调节介导生物体行为的复杂生理系统的分子和细胞过程。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/或来自研究机会有限的学校，并在MBL夏季调查员或全年科学家的指导下让他们沉浸在研究项目中。申请人通过该项目的网站进行电子申请，招生委员会将对申请人进行审查，并在早春发出通知。 每个学生将根据共同兴趣分配一位导师，并完全融入他们的实验室和研究计划。增加研究经验将是实地考察和研讨会，将探讨广泛的主题，为学生在生物科学的职业生涯做好准备。学生还将参加有关道德和负责任的行为在长期运行的MBL课程，神经科学道德和生存暑期课程提供的研究讲座。通用评估工具（http：www.salgsite.org）将用于学生和项目评估。 该计划将在本科生研究研讨会和海报展示中达到高潮。目标是招募一批与研究环境一样多样化的学生。研讨会将通过直播向公众广泛传播。 鼓励学生在同行评审的期刊上发表他们的研究结果，并参加科学会议。 项目校友报告称，他们在研究生入学以及学术或工业就业方面取得了很大成功。项目结束后，需要对学生进行跟踪，并且必须回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//hermes.mbl.edu/education/courses/other_programs/reu.html，或联系主要研究者（Mensinger博士，amensing@d.umn.edu）或共同主要研究者（Malchow博士，paulmalc@uic.edu）。

This REU Site award to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), located in Woods Hole, MA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2014- 2016. This award is supported by both the Directorates for Biological Sciences (Division of Biological Infrastructure) and Geosciences (Division of Ocean Sciences). The REU 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 from schools with limited research opportunities, and immerse them in research programs under the guidance of MBL summer investigators or year-round scientists. Applicants apply electronically through the program's website, where they will be reviewed by the admissions committee, with notification in early spring. Each student will be assigned a mentor based on mutual interest, and be fully integrated into their laboratory and research program. Augmenting the research experience will be field trips and seminars that will explore a wide range of topics to prepare students for a career in biological sciences. 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 common assessment tool (http://www.salgsite.org) will be used for student and program evaluation. The program will culminate in an undergraduate research symposium and poster presentation.The goal is to recruit a cohort of students as diverse as the research environment. The research symposium will be broadly disseminated via live streaming to the general public. Students will be encouraged to publish their results in peer reviewed journals and to attend scientific meetings. Program alumni have reported high success in graduate school admission and academic or industrial employment.Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
