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.

位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室奖中的REU站点生物学发现将在2020年至2022年的夏季培训10个学生10周的培训。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，或者是由不足的小组培训，由成员组成的新鲜和大二年级的培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人会在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。该程序的评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。该计划将在计划之后进行跟踪，以确定自己的职业道路。伍兹洞中的生物学发现将学生与MBL的全年和夏季调查员的海洋环境和独特的智力融合在一起，提供了多样化和多样化的研究经验。该计划着重于调节生理系统的神经生物学和/或细胞过程，并/或介导有机行为。指导者是从海洋资源，再生生物学和组织工程，比较分子生物学和进化中选择的，以及MBL的惠特曼中心。目的是招募有积极进取的学生，并在致力于增强本科研究经验的导师的指导下将他们沉浸在研究中。为了扩大研究，学生参加实地考察（即观看鲸鱼，新英格兰水族馆），每周课程会议，研讨会和午餐会，探讨了广泛的主题，包括在研究，道德和研究生院申请中进行负责任的行为，以鼓励学生从事生物科学领域的职业。在夏季，多次评估了学生的进度，所有学生将在计划结束时在MBL本科研究研讨会上介绍研究演讲和海报。 每年12月中旬截止日期，每年12月提供申请。 有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问https://www.mbl.edu/education/education/undergraduate-programs/reu或通过[e-mail]与PI -Allen F. Mensinger博士联系；或Co -Pi -Veronica Acosta博士，网址为[e-mail]。此奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估。
