This REU Site award to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, located in Madison, WI, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. Students investigate information flow, storage, and exchange in biological systems by exploring research questions related to understanding the many forms of information and signals in biological systems (e.g. pheromones, electrical signals, DNA), how information moves within and across biological scales, and how signals from the environment can impact cellular processes and therefore organismal and population level activity. A team of research mentors guides students as they develop their research and scientific communication skills and as they explore the ethical implications of their research projects and graduate education in the biological sciences. Each student in the program writes a scientific report and gives a presentation summarizing their research findings. Applications from all students are welcome, but particularly those who have limited access to research opportunities, are interested in pursuing graduate education, and are members of underrepresented groups in biology graduate training programs and research careers.It is anticipated that a total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities and who are members of underrepresented groups in biology, will be trained in the program. In addition to learning how research is conducted and presenting at the local research symposium, many students will also present the results of their work at regional and national scientific conferences.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. In addition, feedback from students and mentors will be gathered throughout the program to guide program implementation in real time. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting https://wiscience.wisc.edu/IBS-SRP, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Janet Branchaw at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. David Wassarman at [e-mail]).

这项授予威斯康星大学的REU网站奖 - 位于威斯康星州麦迪逊市的麦迪逊，将在2017年至2019年夏季对12个学生进行培训10周。学生通过探索与了解生物学系统中的多种信息和信号（例如，dna scrabils confers cormantal consodics concemant，dna scemital concemant concemant concemant concemant，dna scemoital consodics concemant，dna scemoital，dna scrapical consection consection comply of dna severals of dna的夏季，都会研究生物系统中的信息流，存储和交流）。细胞过程，因此有机体和种群水平活动。一组研究指导者指导学生发展研究和科学沟通技巧，并探索研究项目的道德意义和生物科学研究生教育。该计划中的每个学生都撰写了一份科学报告，并给出了一份介绍，总结了他们的研究结果。欢迎所有学生的申请，但尤其是那些获得研究机会，有兴趣接受研究生教育的人，并且是生物学研究生培训计划和研究职业中代表性不足的群体的成员。预计总共有36名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，并且在该计划中是生物学中代表性不足的人的成员。除了学习如何在本地研究研讨会上进行研究和介绍外，许多学生还将在区域和国家科学会议上介绍其工作的结果。所有REU站点计划使用的基于Web的常见评估工具将使用由生物基础设施部门资助的所有REU站点计划来确定培训计划的有效性。此外，将在整个计划中收集来自学生和导师的反馈，以实时指导计划实施。计划后将跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关该程序的更多信息，可以通过访问https://wiscience.wisc.edu/ibs-srp，或通过与PI联系（Janet Branchaw博士（[e-mail]）或Co-Pi（Dawassarman in [e-mail]）或Co-Pi（David Wassarman博士）。
