项目摘要

This REU Site award to Mount Desert Island (MDI) Biological Laboratory, located in Salisbury Cove, ME, will support the training of 10 undergraduate students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019- 2021. Students will explore topics related to regenerative biology and aging using a variety of animal models, including zebrafish, salamanders, and nematodes. Students will contribute to the understanding of how limbs and organs regenerate under varying environmental conditions. Additional opportunities for students include learning about career options and deeper scientific concepts thru scheduled seminars, symposia, and workshops. To experience the entrepreneurial facet of scientific research, all students will participate in an entrepreneurship workshop in which they will learn about career avenues for scientists whose research interests span disciplinary boundaries. In addition, all students will attend a bioinformatics workshop in which they will learn how to work with big data sets as well as career paths in the evolving field of computational biology. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted and how to communicate their research findings through participation in a weekly science communication course and an on-campus Summer Science Symposium at the culmination of their REU experience. It is possible that students will present their results in other scientific venues and contribute to scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals. 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. In addition, students will participate in a campus-wide survey to determine how to improve the summer research experience for future students at MDI Biological Laboratory. 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 https://mdibl.org/education/hs-undergrad/undergraduate-applications/reu/ or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jane Disney at jdisney@mdibl.org) or the co-PI (Dr. Dustin Updike at dupdike@mdibl.org).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网站奖给山荒岛（MDI）生物实验室，位于索尔兹伯里湾，ME，将支持10名本科生在2019年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。学生将探索与再生生物学和衰老相关的主题，使用各种动物模型，包括斑马鱼，蝾螈和线虫。学生将有助于了解肢体和器官如何在不同的环境条件下再生。学生的其他机会包括通过预定的研讨会，座谈会和讲习班学习职业选择和更深层次的科学概念。为了体验科学研究的创业方面，所有学生都将参加创业研讨会，在研讨会上，他们将了解其研究兴趣跨越学科界限的科学家的职业途径。此外，所有学生都将参加生物信息学研讨会，学习如何使用大数据集以及在不断发展的计算生物学领域的职业道路。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该方案中接受培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，以及如何通过参加每周一次的科学交流课程和校园夏季科学研讨会来交流他们的研究成果。学生有可能在其他科学场所展示他们的成果，并在同行评审的期刊上发表科学论文。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU研究中心项目使用的通用网络评估工具将用于确定培训项目的有效性。此外，学生将参加校园范围内的调查，以确定如何改善MDI生物实验室未来学生的夏季研究经验。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https://mdibl.org/education/hs-undergrad/undergraduate-applications/reu/或联系PI（Jane迪士尼博士，jdisney@mdibl.org）或联合PI（Dustin Updike博士，dupdike@mdibl.org）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
