This REU Site Biological Discovery in Woods Hole award to the Marine Biological Laboratory, located in Woods Hole, MA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020 - 2022. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or are from an under-represented group, with the majority consisting of rising freshman and sophomores, 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. Assessment of the program will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The Biological Disovery in Woods Hole integrates the students with the marine setting and unique intellectual blend of year-round and summer investigators at the MBL, providing a diverse and varied research experience. The program focuses on the neurobiological and/or cellular processes which regulate physiological systems, and/or mediate organismal behavior. The mentors are selected from the Marine Resources, Regenerative Biology and Tissue Engineering, Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution and Whitman Centers at the MBL. The goal is to recruit highly motivated students, and immerse them in research under the guidance of mentors who are committed to enhancing the undergraduate research experience. To augment the research, students participate in field trips (i.e. whale watching, New England Aquarium), weekly course meetings, seminars, and luncheons that explore a wide range of topics including responsible conduct in research, ethics, and graduate school applications to encourage students to pursue a career in the Biological Sciences. Student progress is assessed multiple times during the summer and all students will present a research talk and poster at the MBL Undergraduate Research Symposium at the end of the program. Applications are made available each December with a mid Febuary deadline. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.mbl.edu/education/undergraduate-programs/reu or by contacting the PI - Dr. Allen F. Mensinger at [e-mail]; or the co-PI - Dr. Veronica Acosta at [e-mail] 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网站生物发现在伍兹霍尔奖海洋生物实验室，位于伍兹霍尔，马，将支持10名学生的培训10周期间的夏天2020 - 2022。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或来自代表性不足的群体，其中大多数是新生和新生，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。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具完成。课程结束后，学生将被跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。伍兹霍尔的生物发现将学生与海洋环境和MBL全年和夏季研究人员的独特智力融合相结合，提供多样化的研究体验。该计划侧重于调节生理系统和/或介导生物体行为的神经生物学和/或细胞过程。导师是从海洋资源，再生生物学和组织工程，比较分子生物学和进化和惠特曼中心在MBL选择。我们的目标是招募积极性高的学生，并在致力于提高本科生研究经验的导师的指导下，让他们沉浸在研究中。为了加强研究，学生参加实地考察（即观鲸，新英格兰水族馆），每周课程会议，研讨会和午餐会，探索广泛的主题，包括负责任的行为研究，道德和研究生院的应用，以鼓励学生追求职业生涯在生物科学。学生的进步在夏季进行多次评估，所有学生将在课程结束时在MBL本科研究研讨会上发表研究演讲和海报。 申请每年12月提供，截止日期为2月中旬。 有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://www.mbl.edu/education/undergraduate-programs/reu或联系PI -艾伦F博士。[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。
