This REU Site award to Northeastern University, located in Boston, MA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018- 2020. Undergraduates will participate in team-based interdisciplinary research across biological levels while exploring related research questions from different perspectives. While each participant will have a specific project with a mentor, participants will work in pairs with pairs of faculty advisors and other lab members. This program will encourage both scientific inquiry and professional development, promoting a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life and also preparing students for advancement in research. Research project topics will be diverse (e.g., skin regeneration, microbial biofilm formation, social immunity, mitochondrial DNA inheritance, termite-mammalian fungal interactions). Student growth will be fostered by mentored group meetings as well as expert-led interactive sessions to improve leadership abilities and performance in research teams. Additional enrichment will include workshops on graduate studies, career opportunities, ethics and responsible conduct of research, and seminars exploring interdisciplinary themes. Each participant will present a poster of the individual project at a summer research symposium. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Among the target populations will be returning veterans and reservists enrolled in undergraduate STEM programs, and students underrepresented in the sciences including first generation college students and underrepresented minorities. Students will learn how research is conducted, and will be encouraged to present the results of their work at 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. 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 http://www.northeastern.edu/cos/biology/undergraduate/reu-site/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Wendy Smith at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Rebeca Rosengaus at [e-mail]).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个REU网站奖东北大学，位于马萨诸塞州波士顿，将支持10名学生在2018年至2020年的夏天10周的培训。本科生将参与跨生物水平的团队跨学科研究，同时从不同角度探索相关的研究问题。虽然每个参与者将有一个特定的项目与导师，参与者将与成对的教师顾问和其他实验室成员成对工作。该计划将鼓励科学探究和专业发展，促进对生活相互联系的更深入理解，并为学生在研究中的进步做好准备。研究项目主题将是多样化的（例如，皮肤再生、微生物生物膜形成、社会免疫、线粒体DNA遗传、白蚁-真菌哺乳动物相互作用）。学生的成长将通过指导小组会议以及专家主导的互动会议来促进，以提高研究团队的领导能力和表现。其他丰富内容将包括关于研究生学习、职业机会、道德和负责任的研究行为的讲习班，以及探讨跨学科主题的研讨会。每个参与者将在夏季研究研讨会上展示一张个人项目的海报。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该方案中接受培训。目标人群将包括参加本科STEM课程的退伍军人和预备役军人，以及在科学领域代表性不足的学生，包括第一代大学生和代表性不足的少数民族。学生将学习如何进行研究，并将被鼓励在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU研究中心项目使用的通用网络评估工具将用于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.northeastern.edu/cos/biology/undergraduate/reu-site/，或联系PI（Wendy Smith博士，W. [e-mail]）或联合PI（Dr. Wendy Rosengaus，r. northeastern.edu）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。northeastern.edu
