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.

REU 授予位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室 (MBL) 的场地奖将支持 10 名学生在 2014 年至 2016 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。该奖项得到生物科学理事会（生物基础设施部）和地球科学部（海洋科学部）的支持。 REU 项目将重点关注产生和调节介导有机体行为的复杂生理系统的分子和细胞过程。该项目的目标是招募积极性高的学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体和/或研究机会有限的学校的学生，并让他们在 MBL 夏季调查员或常年科学家的指导下沉浸在研究项目中。申请人通过该项目的网站进行电子申请，招生委员会将对其进行审核，并在早春发出通知。 每个学生都会根据共同兴趣分配一名导师，并充分融入他们的实验室和研究项目。实地考察和研讨会将丰富研究经验，探索广泛的主题，为学生在生物科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。学生还将参加由长期运行的 MBL 课程、神经科学伦理与生存暑期项目提供的关于道德和负责任的研究行为的讲座。通用评估工具（http://www.salgsite.org）将用于学生和项目评估。 该计划将以本科生研究研讨会和海报展示结束。目标是招募一批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广泛传播。 我们将鼓励学生在同行评审期刊上发表他们的成果并参加科学会议。 该项目的校友在研究生入学和学术或工业就业方面取得了巨大成功。学生在项目结束后必须接受跟踪，并且必须回复通过 NSF 报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。如需了解更多信息，请访问 http://hermes.mbl.edu/education/courses/other_programs/reu.html，或联系 PI（Mensinger 博士，[e-mail]）或联合 PI（Malchow 博士，[e-mail]）。
