This workshop will engage program directors of the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program in discussions on the implementation of the REU Site program. The REU Site program provides opportunities for undergraduate students from across the country to conduct research in an area of their interest and to develop their skills to become leaders in a STEM field. The REU program provides opportunities for students, especially those coming from schools with limited research activity or those from underrepresented groups, to learn about how research is conducted and to understand the scientific basis of their research. Students train under the mentorship of selected faculty, learn state-of-the-art lab techniques and instrumentation, and acquire quantitative skills that prepare them for a future career in STEM. The development and training of undergraduates is vital to a robust U.S. economy and to maintaining continued global competitiveness in science and technology.The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory will organize the workshop which will be held in September 2021. The goal is to provide a venue for REU Site program directors to share best practices on implementing an REU program and to discuss important issues associated with undergraduate research training. Program directors funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will meet for three days to discuss many topics, such as ways in which student identity as a scientist can be enhanced, effective communication of science, and issues on gender and ethnic/racial diversity, responsible conduct of research, effective mentoring, recruitment and selection of students, and careers in STEM. A report that captures the discussions will be posted at www.bioreu.org website and disseminated to the REU community.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.

该研讨会将与NSF研究经验的计划主任（REU）站点计划进行有关实施REU网站计划的讨论。 REU网站计划为来自全国各地的本科生提供了机会，可以在他们感兴趣的领域进行研究，并发展自己的技能，成为STEM领域的领导者。 REU计划为学生，尤其是来自研究活动有限的学校或代表性不足的学生提供机会，以了解如何进行研究并了解其研究的科学基础。学生在选定教师的指导下进行培训，学习最先进的实验室技术和仪器，并获得定量技能，使他们为STEM的未来职业做好准备。本科生的发展和培训对美国经济的强劲经济至关重要，并保持在科学和技术方面的持续全球竞争力。落基山生物实验室将组织研讨会，该研讨会将于2021年9月举行。目的是为REU现场计划主管提供一个在实施REU计划和实施不足研究培训的重要问题的场所。由生物基础设施部门资助的计划主管将开会三天，讨论许多主题，例如，可以增强学生身份作为科学家，有效的科学交流以及有关性别和种族/种族多样性的问题的方式，有效的研究，有效的指导，培训，招聘，招募学生以及学生的职业以及STEM中的职业。一份捕获讨论的报告将发布在www.bioreu.org网站上，并传播到REU社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估标准的评估值得支持的。
