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.

这个REU网站奖康奈尔大学，位于伊萨卡，纽约州，将支持12名学生在2019年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。 该计划侧重于宿主-微生物相互作用，由康奈尔大学宿主-微生物相互作用和疾病研究所主办。 学生将接受概念，研究问题和实验方法的培训，以了解微生物与真核宿主的相互作用。 REU参与者将通过独立研究项目的开发，实施和分析，每周研讨会和同行小组讨论获得身临其境的研究体验。 重点将放在解释不同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讨论研究伦理、电子数据库素养、科学引文软件的使用和科学交流技能建设的讲习班。 参与者将获得专业发展方面的指导，重点是研究生院的规划。 招聘将侧重于获得研究机会有限的学生，鼓励来自科学代表性不足的群体的本科生申请。申请将通过一个门户网站收集，参与者将由项目选择委员会和潜在的导师在两步审查过程中选出。录取将基于学习成绩，研究表现，以及对未来生物学杰出研究的动机。评估措施将包括入职和离职面谈，学生自我评估，和REU共同评估工具。 预计将培训36名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校。 学生将学习如何通过执行研究，可以在科学会议上提出或有助于出版物进行研究。参与者将获得申请研究生院和科学事业的知识和技能。由生物基础设施司资助的所有REU网站计划使用的一个基于网络的通用评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。 参与者的职业道路将在计划结束后进行跟踪。 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cihmid.cornell.edu/reu-mff，或联系PI（Teresa Pawlowska博士在[e-mail]和Tory Hendry博士在[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
