项目摘要

The North Carolina A&T State University and Elon University Joint REU in Mathematical Biology is a 10-week residential summer program in which 10 undergraduate participants will conduct research on a variety of topics within the field of mathematical biology in small groups of two to three students. A team of faculty members from both host institutions will be involved with the planning and execution of the REU program and the location of the program will alternate between the host institutions. The primary objective of the program is to provide students an opportunity to conduct and present research with a diverse group of peers. Students will be recruited from a variety of institutions, including those with similar demographics to the host institutions. A heavy emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from underrepresented minorities, women, and individuals whose home institution have limited research opportunities in STEM (including community colleges and advanced high schools). At the conclusion of the summer program, each participant will have produced an oral presentation, a poster, and a manuscript. Participants will be encouraged to present their research at regional and national conferences, and to submit their manuscripts for publication in appropriate peer-reviewed journals. Each year, participants in this REU program will conduct research at the interface of mathematics and biology under the guidance of a group of dedicated faculty mentors. Research topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, epidemiological and ecological modeling, and biostatistics. A variety of modeling techniques will be employed, including differential equations modeling, agent-based modeling, stochastic equations, and regression analysis. Through participation in the REU program, participants will improve their oral and written communication skills, gain exposure to higher level proof-based mathematical topics, learn how to use software that is commonly used in mathematical research (such as MATLAB, LaTeX, and R), and participate in a variety of workshops aimed at career preparation and professional development. Through participation in the REU, students will have regular meetings with a faculty research mentor and a graduate assistant mentor. Students will give a weekly "work in progress" presentation, and twice a week, they will attend a mathematical proof course. Participation in the REU program will help students to be better prepared for graduate school or a career in the mathematical sciences. Results from the research conducted as a part of the program, and experiences from the planning and execution of the program will be disseminated through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.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.

北卡罗来纳A&A&T州立大学和埃隆大学数学生物学联合REU是一个为期10周的住宿暑期项目，10名本科生将以2至3名学生为一小组，就数学生物学领域的各种主题进行研究。来自两个主办机构的教职员工团队将参与REU计划的规划和执行，计划的地点将在两个主办机构之间交替。该计划的主要目标是为学生提供机会，与不同的同龄人一起进行和展示研究。学生将从不同的机构招收，包括那些人口统计数据与主办机构相似的机构。重点将放在招收少数族裔学生、女性学生以及其母校在STEM(包括社区大学和高等高中)研究机会有限的个人。在暑期课程结束时，每个参与者都将制作一份口头报告、一张海报和一份手稿。将鼓励与会者在区域和国家会议上介绍他们的研究成果，并提交手稿，以便在适当的同行评议期刊上发表。每年，这个REU项目的参与者将在一群敬业的教师导师的指导下，在数学和生物的界面上进行研究。研究主题来自不同的领域，包括药代动力学、药效学、流行病学和生态学建模以及生物统计学。将使用各种建模技术，包括微分方程组建模、基于代理的建模、随机方程和回归分析。通过参加REU计划，参与者将提高他们的口头和书面交流技能，接触更高级别的基于证据的数学主题，学习如何使用数学研究中常用的软件(如MATLAB、LaTeX和R)，并参加各种旨在为职业准备和职业发展而举办的研讨会。通过参加REU，学生将定期与一名教师研究导师和一名研究生助理导师会面。学生将每周做一次“进行中的工作”报告，每周两次，他们将参加一门数学证明课程。参加REU项目将帮助学生更好地为进入研究生院或从事数学科学工作做好准备。作为该计划一部分进行的研究结果以及该计划规划和执行的经验将通过会议报告和同行评议出版物进行传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
