项目摘要

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 2017-2019. The Biological Discovery in Woods Hole 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 schools with limited research opportunities, and immerse them in research programs under the guidance of MBL scientists. Applicants apply electronically through the program's website, with admissions' committee review and notification in early spring. Each student will be fully integrated into their mentor's laboratory and research program. Augmenting the research experience will be field trips and seminars to prepare students for a career in the biological sciences. Students will also attend lectures on ethics and responsible conduct in research. The common assessment tool SALG URSSA will be used for student and program evaluation. The program will culminate in an undergraduate research symposium and poster presentation.It is anticipated that a total of 10 students per summer, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. The goal is to recruit a cohort as diverse as the research environment, with previous students selected from over 50 different institutions with cohorts consisting of 71% women, 60% of groups underrepresented in science and 70% from schools with limited research opportunities. 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.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. Students will be tracked after the program 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 http://www.mbl.edu/education/other-educational/reu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Allen F. Mensinger at amensing@d.umn.edu).

这个REU网站奖海洋生物实验室（MBL）位于伍兹霍尔，MA将支持10名学生在2017年至2019年的夏天10周的培训。生物发现在伍兹霍尔REU计划将集中在分子和细胞的过程，产生，并调节，复杂的生理系统，介导有机体的行为。该计划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，并在MBL科学家的指导下让他们沉浸在研究项目中。申请人通过该项目的网站进行电子申请，招生委员会在早春进行审查和通知。每个学生都将完全融入导师的实验室和研究计划。增加研究经验将是实地考察和研讨会，为学生在生物科学的职业生涯做好准备。学生还将参加有关道德和负责任的研究行为的讲座。通用评估工具SALG URSSA将用于学生和项目评估。该计划将在本科生研究研讨会和海报展示中达到高潮。预计每年夏天共有10名学生参加该计划，主要来自研究机会有限的学校。目标是招募一个与研究环境一样多样化的群体，以前的学生从50多个不同的机构中选出，其中71%为女性，60%为科学代表性不足的群体，70%来自研究机会有限的学校。鼓励学生在同行评审的期刊上发表他们的研究结果，并参加科学会议。项目校友报告称，他们在研究生入学方面取得了很大成功。由生物基础设施部门资助的所有REU Site项目将使用一种通用的基于网络的评估工具来确定培训项目的有效性。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http：//www.mbl.edu/education/other-educational/reu/，或联系PI（艾伦F. Mensinger at amensing@d.umn.edu）。
