This REU Site award to Princeton University, located in Princeton, NJ, will support the training of 10 students for 9 weeks during the summers of 2018- 2020. All students will be mentored by faculty associated with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) and will be offered a GRE preparatory course; computer programming classes; and other activities designed to help summer students prepare for graduate school. Summer researchers are required to participate in laboratory and safety training seminars and a workshop on the responsible conduct of research. PNI's summer research program is for undergraduates who are seriously considering graduate studies in neuroscience. PNI seeks to support students whose participation will add to the diversity of researchers in the sciences, and are from institutions that do not have large neuroscience research programs. Applicants are required to submit an online application, an unofficial transcript and two letters of recommendation. Completed applications are evaluated by program staff and faculty. Program participants are asked to join PNI's LinkedIn group and create an ORCID account to assist PNI in monitoring their academic and professional progress.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Given the importance of a research experience in the graduate admissions process, this program will provide students with opportunities that they might not otherwise be able to obtain. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will 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://pni.princeton.edu/summer-programs/pni-summer-internship-program/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jonathan Cohen at [e-mail]) or the Program Director (Dr. Ed Clayton 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网站奖给普林斯顿大学，位于新泽西州普林斯顿，将支持10名学生在2018年至2020年的夏天9周的培训。所有学生将由普林斯顿神经科学研究所（PNI）的教师指导，并将提供GRE预备课程;计算机编程课程;以及旨在帮助暑期学生为研究生院做准备的其他活动。暑期研究人员必须参加实验室和安全培训研讨会以及关于负责任地进行研究的讲习班。PNI的暑期研究计划是为那些认真考虑神经科学研究生课程的本科生准备的。PNI旨在支持学生的参与将增加科学研究人员的多样性，并且来自没有大型神经科学研究项目的机构。申请人需要提交一份在线申请，一份非正式成绩单和两封推荐信。 完成的应用程序由程序工作人员和教师进行评估。项目参与者被要求加入PNI的LinkedIn小组，并创建一个ORCID帐户，以帮助PNI监控他们的学术和专业进展。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将接受该项目的培训。鉴于研究生入学过程中的研究经验的重要性，该计划将为学生提供机会，否则他们可能无法获得。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。由生物基础设施司资助的所有REU网站计划使用的一个基于网络的通用评估工具将用于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，请访问http：//pni.princeton.edu/summer-programs/pni-summer-internship-program/，或联系PI（Jonathan Cohen博士，www.example.com）或计划主任（艾德克莱顿博士，www.example.com）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
