The University of Wisconsin-Madison will organize a workshop for REU Site Program Directors who are currently funded thru the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure. The workshop will be held on March 28-April 1, 2017, in Arlington, VA. The goal is to share best practices and discuss important issues associated with training undergrads in the REU Site program, including designing program evaluation, enhancing mentoring experience, implementing strategies for successful recruitment of underrepresented groups, communicating scientific results to stakeholders and the public, preparing undergrads for all types of careers in STEM, and others. An existing website (www.bioreu.org) will be used for registration and submission of abstracts for the poster session scheduled at the beginning of the workshop.The workshop will bring together approximately 140 REU Program Directors and three plenary speakers with expertise in selected areas covered by the workshop. A Planning Committee, comprised of members of the BIO REU Leadership Council, will be formed to ensure representation by a diverse group of Program Directors and institution types at the workshop. The Planning Committee will gather input from attendees on the selection of plenary speakers, topics of discussion, and format of workshop sessions. A Final Report will be produced and disseminated to the entire BIO REU community. An online survey will be administered immediately following the workshop to assess the effectiveness of the workshop. The results of this evaluation will be included in the Final Report to be submitted to NSF. More information is available by contacting the PI, Dr. Janet Branchaw at [e-mail].

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校将为REU现场项目主任组织一次研讨会，他们目前通过NSF生物基础设施部门获得资助。研讨会将于2017年3月28日至4月1日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。我们的目标是分享最佳实践，并讨论与REU网站计划中的本科生培训相关的重要问题，包括设计计划评估，增强辅导经验，实施成功招募代表性不足的群体的策略，向利益相关者和公众传达科学成果，为本科生准备所有类型的STEM职业等。将利用现有的网站（www.bioreu.org）登记和提交研讨会开始时安排的海报会议的摘要。研讨会将汇集大约140名REU项目主任和三名在研讨会所涵盖的选定领域具有专门知识的全体发言人。将成立一个由BIO REU领导理事会成员组成的规划委员会，以确保不同的项目主任和机构类型代表参加研讨会。规划委员会将收集与会者对全体发言人的选择、讨论主题和研讨会形式的意见。最终报告将制作并分发给整个BIO REU社区。讲习班结束后将立即进行在线调查，以评估讲习班的成效。本次评估的结果将包含在提交给NSF的最终报告中。欲了解更多信息，请联系PI Janet Branchaw博士（[e-mail]）。
