This REU Site award to Cornell University, located in Ithaca, NY, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. The program focuses on host-microbe interactions and is hosted by the Cornell Institute of Host-Microbe Interactions and Disease. Students will be trained in concepts, research questions, and experimental approaches central to understanding microbial interactions with eukaryotic hosts. REU participants will obtain an immersive research experience through development, implementation and analysis of an independent research project, weekly seminars, and peer group discussions. Strong emphasis will be placed on the synthesis of concepts explaining microbial interactions across diverse systems. Orientation activities will include workshops devoted to research ethics, electronic database literacy, use of science citation software, and building science communication skills. Participants will receive mentoring in professional development focused on planning for graduate school. Recruitment will focus on students with limited access to research opportunities, and undergraduates from groups underrepresented in science are encouraged to apply. Applications will be collected through a web portal and participants will be selected in a two-step review process by the program selection committee and potential mentors. Acceptance will be based on academic record, research performance, and motivation for future outstanding research in biology. Assessment measures will include entry and exit interviews, student self-assesment, and the REU common assessment tool. It is anticipated that a total of 36 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained. Students will learn how research is conducted by performing research which can be presented at scientific conferences or contribute to publications. Participants will gain knowledge and skills for applying to graduate school and careers in science.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. Career paths of participants will be tracked after the program. 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 cihmid.cornell.edu/reu-mff, or by contacting the PIs (Dr. Teresa Pawlowska at [e-mail] and Dr. Tory Hendry 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.

这项授予位于纽约州伊萨卡市的康奈尔大学的REU网站奖将在2019 - 2021年夏季支持12名学生的培训10周。 该计划的重点是宿主 - 微型相互作用，并由康奈尔大学的宿主 - 微生物相互作用和疾病主持。 学生将接受概念，研究问题和实验方法的培训，以了解与真核宿主的微生物相互作用的核心。 REU参与者将通过对独立研究项目，每周研讨会和同伴小组讨论的开发，实施和分析获得身临其境的研究经验。 强烈的重点将放在解释各种系统中微生物相互作用的概念的综合上。 定向活动将包括专门研究伦理学，电子数据库素养，使用科学引用软件以及建立科学沟通技巧的研讨会。 参与者将获得专业发展的指导，重点是计划研究生院。 招聘将专注于获得研究机会的有限的学生，并鼓励从科学领域代表性不足的团体的本科生申请。申请将通过Web门户收集，参与者将由计划选择委员会和潜在导师在两步审核过程中选择。接受将基于学术记录，研究表现和动力，以实现生物学的未来杰出研究。评估措施将包括进入和退出访谈，学生自我评估和REU共同评估工具。 预计总共有36名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校。 学生将通过进行科学会议或为出版物做出贡献的研究来了解如何进行研究。参与者将获得知识和技能，以申请研究生院和科学职业。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU网站计划使用的一种常见的基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。 计划结束后，将跟踪参与者的职业道路。 将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。 可以通过访问cihmid.cornell.edu/reu-mff或与PIS联系（[e-mail] [e-mail]和Tory Hendry博士和[e-mail]）的更多信息，或通过访问cihmid.cornell.edu/reu-mff或与PIS联系（Teresa Pawlowska博士，可获得）。 标准。
