This award to the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory will support a workshop for directors operating Research Experiences for Undergraduate (EU) sites. Site directors will share best practices in implementing undergraduate research programs and discuss issues faced by program directors of REU Site programs. The primary focus of the workshop is student assessment of the research experience and long-term tracking of participants. BIO-funded REU program directors will be invited to the 3-day workshop, that starts on April 4th, 2019. It is expected that 140-150 participants will attend the workshop, which will occur at the Holiday Inn Rosslyn in Arlington, VA.Additionally, the grant will implement updates to the existing BIO REU website (bioreu.org), migrating the website to a new content management system that allows for increased capacity to manage content. The website is a primary means for REU students and PIs to share resources.Broader ImpactsThe REU program is one of the primary mechanisms NSF has to support broader participation in the sciences. The workshop will make REU programs more effective through sharing of best practices. Additionally, the US Congress has mandated longitudinal tracking of student participants. This workshop will discuss ways so that the intent by Congress is appropriately met.Intellectual MeritThe REU program helps support the research activities of 1,000+ scientists, generating hundreds of scientific publications. Under the supervision of a scientist, undergraduates perform their own research projects. This complements the work of their mentors, and advances our fundamental understanding of biology.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.

该奖项授予落基山生物实验室的奖项将为本科生（EU）现场的董事开展研究经验的研讨会。 现场主管将分享实施本科研究计划的最佳实践，并讨论REU网站计划计划主管所面临的问题。 研讨会的主要重点是学生评估研究经验和参与者的长期跟踪。由生物资助的REU计划导演将邀请参加为期3天的研讨会，该研讨会将于2019年4月4日开始。预计140-150名参与者将参加该研讨会，该研讨会将在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的Holiday Inn Inn Rosslyn举行，从而在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的Holiday Inn Rosslyn上进行，该拨款将允许对现有的BIO REU网站（Bioreu.or.or.or.org.org）进行更新，该网站迁移了一个新的内容。该网站是REU学生和PI共享资源的主要手段。BoaderImpactthe REU计划是NSF支持更广泛参与科学的主要机制之一。 该研讨会将通过共享最佳实践来使REU计划更有效。 此外，美国国会还要求对学生参与者进行纵向跟踪。 该研讨会将讨论方式，以便适当地满足国会的意图。智能优点REU计划有助于支持1,000多名科学家的研究活动，从而产生数百个科学出版物。 在科学家的监督下，大学生执行自己的研究项目。 这补充了他们的导师的工作，并提高了我们对生物学的基本理解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估的。
