This REU Site award to the University of California Berkeley (UCB), located in Berkeley, CA, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018 - 2021. The theme of the REU is "Integrating Biology from Molecules to Ecosystems." The program offers research training in molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, physiology, and ecology. Evolution is central theme and inherent part of all research programs included in the program. Students will be able to conduct research in areas that could include anything from gene regulation and cell morphogenesis, to examining environmental factors that alter developmental trajectories in whole animals, to studying evolution in the field. In addition to the intensive research experience (with students mentored by faculty members and doctoral or postdoctoral students), the program offers an intensive week of introductory courses, a weekly research seminar presented by faculty members from across campus, writing and oral communication exercises, ethics training, a weekly professional development course, and a balanced social/recreational program. Students will assess the program by using the REU common assessment tool. The UCB REU program seeks students interested in pursuing graduate school and research careers in the biological sciences. Student applications are assessed by the PI, co-PI and training faculty.It is anticipated that a total of 48 undergraduate students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. One of the program goals is to increase the number of women, underrepresented minorities, first generation students, students from low income backgrounds and students with disabilities who pursue graduate degrees in the biological sciences. Students in the program will learn how research is conducted, and enhance their skills and confidence to do science. Many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences, improving their chance to get into the most competitive graduate programs in the country. Further, the UCB REU program will strengthen ties with colleges and universities that serve the targeted student populations. Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by visiting http://mcb.berkeley.edu/nsfreu/ or by contacting the PI (Dr. Gian Garriga at [e-mail] or co-PI (Dr. Tyrone B. Hayes 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网站奖给加州伯克利大学（UCB），位于加州伯克利，将支持12名学生在2018年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。REU的主题是“从分子到生态系统的整合生物学”。“该计划提供分子生物学，细胞生物学，发育生物学，生理学和生态学的研究培训。进化是中心主题，也是该计划中所有研究项目的固有组成部分。学生将能够在可能包括从基因调控和细胞形态发生的任何领域进行研究，以检查改变整个动物发育轨迹的环境因素，以研究该领域的进化。除了密集的研究经验（与教师和博士或博士后学生辅导的学生），该计划提供了一个密集的一周的入门课程，每周的研究研讨会，由来自校园各地的教师，写作和口头交流练习，道德培训，每周专业发展课程，以及平衡的社会/娱乐计划。学生将通过使用REU通用评估工具评估该计划。UCB REU计划寻求有兴趣在生物科学领域攻读研究生院和研究职业的学生。学生申请由PI，co-PI和培训教师进行评估。预计共有48名本科生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。该方案的目标之一是增加攻读生物科学研究生学位的妇女、代表性不足的少数民族、第一代学生、低收入背景的学生和残疾学生的人数。该计划的学生将学习如何进行研究，并提高他们的技能和信心做科学。许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果，提高他们进入该国最具竞争力的研究生课程的机会。此外，UCB REU计划将加强与服务于目标学生群体的学院和大学的联系。学生需要在课程结束后进行跟踪，并必须通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。更多信息可访问http://mcb.berkeley.edu/nsfreu/或联系PI（Gian Garriga博士，[e-mail]）或共同PI（Tyrone B.
