This REU Site award to the University of North Dakota (UND), located in Grand Forks, ND, will support the training of 12 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2022. Research will be conducted under the mentorship of UND faculty in the Departments of Biology and Biomedical Sciences. Mentors will work closely with students to develop an independent research project. Examples of projects include investigation into how environmentally determined changes in gene expression influence learning in fish, sex-determination in turtles, stress tolerance in nematodes, and wing patterning in moths. Students will receive training in cell biology, development, genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience, and systems biology. In addition to hands-on research, students attend weekly research seminars and workshops about science writing and presentations, responsible conduct of research, ethics and sexual harassment. Students present their findings at a symposium. Participants are provided a stipend, room and board, and travel funds. Subsidized child care is provided by UND to students with dependents. Students from groups historically underrepresented in the sciences are encouraged to apply. Selection criteria include academic performance and educational and career goals. Applications are evaluated by the PI and mentoring faculty.It is anticipated that a total of 48 students, primarily from rural and tribal schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The primary mission of the program is to encourage students to pursue graduate degrees in the sciences and enter careers in science education, research, and literacy. This program will help strengthen ties with rural and tribal colleges. 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. 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 http://ndinbre.org/NSF-REU/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Van Doze 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网站奖给北达科他州（UND），位于大福克斯，ND的大学，将支持12名学生在2019年至2022年的夏天10周的培训。 研究将在生物学和生物医学科学系UND教师的指导下进行。 导师将与学生密切合作，开发一个独立的研究项目。 项目的例子包括调查环境决定的基因表达变化如何影响鱼类的学习，海龟的性别决定，线虫的应激耐受性和蛾的翅膀图案。 学生将接受细胞生物学，发育，遗传学，分子生物学，神经科学和系统生物学的培训。 除了动手研究，学生参加每周的研究研讨会和研讨会有关科学写作和演示文稿，负责任的研究行为，道德和性骚扰。 学生们在研讨会上展示他们的发现。 向参加者提供津贴、食宿和旅费。 UND向有受抚养人的学生提供儿童保育补贴。 鼓励来自历史上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。 选择标准包括学习成绩以及教育和职业目标。 申请由PI和指导教师进行评估。预计共有48名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的农村和部落学校，将在该计划中接受培训。 学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。 该计划的主要使命是鼓励学生攻读科学研究生学位，并进入科学教育，研究和扫盲职业。 该计划将有助于加强与农村和部落学院的联系。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。 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http：//ndinbre.org/NSF-REU/，或联系PI（货车Doze博士，货车. und.edu）。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。
