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.

在2014年至2016年的夏季，该奖项将在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔（MA）的海洋生物实验室（MBL）授予10周的培训10周。该奖项均得到该奖项的培训。该奖项均得到生物科学局（生物基础设施部）和地球科学（海洋科学司）的支持。 REU计划将集中于产生并调节介导有机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有积极进取的学生，尤其是来自代表性不足的群体和/或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将其沉浸在研究计划中。申请人通过该计划的网站进行电子申请，在该网站上将由招生委员会审查，并在早春通知。 每个学生将根据共同利益分配一个导师，并完全融入他们的实验室和研究计划中。增强研究经验的是实地考察和研讨会，将探讨各种各样的主题，以使学生为生物科学的职业做好准备。学生还将参加长期运行的MBL课程，神经科学伦理和生存的夏季计划提供的有关道德和负责任的行为的讲座。通用评估工具（http://www.salgsite.org）将用于学生和计划评估。 该计划将在本科研究研讨会和海报演讲中达到高潮。目标是招募与研究环境一样多样化的学生。研究研讨会将通过直播向公众进行广泛传播。 将鼓励学生在同行评审的期刊上发布其成果并参加科学会议。 计划校友报告说，在研究生院录取和学术或工业就业方面取得了很大的成功。在计划后必须跟踪学生，并且必须响应通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。访问http://hermes.mbl.edu/education/courses/other_programs/reu.html或通过与PI联系（[e-mail]）或Co-pi（Malchow at [e-mail]）。
