This REU Site award to The Scripps Research Institute, located in Jupiter, FL, 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 Mathematical and Physical Sciences (Division of Chemistry). The Scripps Research Institute in Florida has a focus that integrates cutting edge bioscience research with the development of chemical tools to probe basic biological questions. Students can join any of six departments -- Cancer Biology, Chemistry, Infectious Diseases, Metabolism and Aging, Molecular Therapeutics, and Neuroscience -- where they will find themselves working at the interface between chemistry and biology. The REU experience will provide a diverse group of students with mentored training in scientific research at a top graduate program in the country, professional development opportunities focused around graduate school, including ethics training, and guided training in scientific presentation. These efforts will culminate in a campus-wide poster session, where the participants will present their findings and will be encouraged to present their results at a regional or national scientific meeting. Participants will be selected for participation based on their academic record, letters of reference and a statement of purpose. The location of The Scripps Research Institute in South Florida means it is well positioned to recruit students from several underrepresented groups. Undergraduates with an interest in science will have access to internationally renowned scientific research programs that will foster their interest in science by immersing them in project design, data collection and analysis, and presenting results.The effectiveness of this program will be monitored by program evaluations including the BIO REU Sites common assessment tool and students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.

这项授予位于佛罗里达州木星的Scripps Research Institute的REU网站奖将在2014 - 2016年夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。该奖项均得到生物科学局（生物基础设施部）和数学和物理科学（化学部）的支持。佛罗里达州的Scripps研究所的重点将尖端生物科学研究与化学工具的开发相结合以探测基本的生物学问题。学生可以加入六个部门中的任何一个 - 癌症生物学，化学，传染病，代谢和衰老，分子疗法和神经科学 - 他们会发现自己在化学与生物学之间的界面工作。 REU的经验将为该国顶级研究生课程的科学研究提供多种学生的培训，专业发展机会集中在研究生院，包括道德培训，以及在科学演讲中进行的指导培训。这些努力将在整个校园的海报会议上达到高潮，参与者将提出他们的发现，并鼓励在区域或国家科学会议上呈现其结果。将根据他们的学术记录，参考书和目的声明选择参与者参加。 Scripps研究所在南佛罗里达州的位置意味着它可以很好地招募来自几个代表性不足的群体的学生。对科学有兴趣的本科生将有能力获得国际知名的科学研究计划，这些计划将通过将其沉浸在项目设计，数据收集和分析中并呈现结果来促进他们对科学的兴趣。该计划评估的有效性将受到计划评估的有效性，包括BEIO REU站点，包括在计划和自动范围内响应NSSF，需要跟踪学生，并需要跟踪学生，以通过NSSF进行响应。通过访问http://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/flreu/index.html，或通过与PI（KKARBSTEIN博士的[e-mail]）或计划管理员联系（LEACH-SCACKAVIA夫人，请通过Leach-Scrippscripps.edu）与PI（kkarbstein博士）联系，可以通过访问http://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/flreu/index.html获得更多信息获得更多信息。
