This REU Site award to the University of Missouri (MU), located in Columbia, MO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. MU is the largest institution of higher learning in Missouri and the flagship campus of the University of Missouri System. The program offers a wide range of very exciting interdisciplinary projects in neuroscience, with both wet-lab and computational components. The projects are drawn from all levels in neuroscience (i.e., intracellular/cellular, systems and behavioral levels), with participating faculty coming from the colleges of arts & science, engineering, and veterinary medicine. Starting with a 1-week boot camp, students attend a weekly class on computational neuroscience, conduct lab research as well as participate in various seminars and workshops on topics such as the responsible conduct of research, professional skills, career opportunities, and the graduate school application process. Each student will have the opportunity to write reports, and design and present a scientific poster. They will form part of a group of 100+ undergraduate researchers from all over U.S. who participate each summer in a vibrant summer research program (http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/). All participants will be recruited from outside MU, and selected based on academic record, research performance, and potential for research in neuroscience. Participant support during the REU experience will include a stipend, lodging and food, travel to and from the university, and funding for the research project.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Applications from underrepresented groups and minority institutions are encouraged.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 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 visitinghttp://engineering.missouri.edu/neuroreu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Satish S. Nair at [e-mail]) or co-PI (Dr. David J. Schulz at [e-mail]).

这个REU网站奖密苏里大学（MU），位于哥伦比亚，密苏里州，将支持10名学生在2017年至2019年的夏天10周的培训。密苏里大学是密苏里州最大的高等学府，也是密苏里州系统的旗舰校区。该计划提供了广泛的非常令人兴奋的神经科学跨学科项目，包括湿实验室和计算组件。这些项目来自神经科学的各个层面（即，细胞内/细胞，系统和行为水平），参与教师来自艺术科学，工程和兽医学院。从为期1周的靴子训练营开始，学生每周参加一次计算神经科学课程，进行实验室研究，并参加各种研讨会和研讨会，主题包括负责任的研究行为，专业技能，职业机会和研究生院申请流程。每个学生将有机会撰写报告，设计和展示科学海报。他们将成为来自美国各地的100多名本科研究人员的一部分，他们每年夏天参加一个充满活力的夏季研究计划（http：//undergradresearch.missouri.edu/）。所有参与者将从MU外部招募，并根据学习成绩，研究表现和神经科学研究潜力进行选择。在REU体验期间，参与者的支持将包括津贴，住宿和食物，往返大学的旅行，以及研究项目的资金。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。来自代表性不足的群体和少数民族机构的申请被驳回。由生物基础设施司资助的所有REU网站项目使用的一个共同的基于网络的评估工具将被用来确定培训计划的有效性。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可通过访问http：//engineering.missouri.edu/neuroreu/，或联系PI（Satish S. Nair，[e-mail]）或共同研究者（大卫J.舒尔茨博士，[e-mail]）。
