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.

这项授予位于马萨诸塞州波士顿的东北大学的REU网站奖将在2018年至2020年的夏季为10周的10周培训。本科生将参与跨生物学水平的基于团队的跨学科研究，同时从不同的角度探索相关研究问题。虽然每个参与者将与导师一起有一个特定的项目，但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，从而更深入地了解生活的相互联系，并为学生做好准备以促进研究的发展。研究项目主题将是多种多样的（例如，皮肤再生，微生物生物膜形成，社会免疫力，线粒体DNA遗传，白蚁哺乳动物真菌相互作用）。学生的成长将由受过指导的小组会议以及专家主导的互动会议促进学生的成长，以提高研究团队的领导能力和表现。额外的丰富将包括有关研究生学习，职业机会，道德和负责任的研究的研讨会，以及探索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单个项目的海报。预计总共有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。在目标人群中，将返回参加本科STEM计划的退伍军人和预备役人员，而在包括第一代大学生和代表性不足的少数群体（包括一代人）中的学生不足。学生将学习如何进行研究，并鼓励在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU网站计划使用的常见基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。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。 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使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估值得支持的。
