This REU Site award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, located in Madison, WI, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021- 2023. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an underrepresented group, will be trained in the program. Students will investigate how diversity in genotype and the environment as well as interactions between genotype and the environment lead to diverse characteristics, or phenotypes. The REU program will prepare students to meet this challenge by supporting development of their observation skills and their ability to approach complex problems from multiple experimental directions. These skills are required to address challenges such as how organisms respond to stresses and how to target plant and animal breeding to sustainably feed and fuel the growing human population. 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.This REU will train students to understand how observable traits and phenotypes are influenced by genotype and environmental conditions. The program includes diverse projects with research groups from nine bioscience departments (Bacteriology, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Chemistry, Botany, Comparative Biosciences, Entomology, Integrative Biology, Medical Genetics, and Neurology). Students will participate in seminars and workshops to sharpen their research skills of observation, critical thinking, communication, research ethics, and creativity. Students will learn strategies to navigate the research process and will learn ways to develop an effective relationship with their mentors. They will acquire skills and knowledge that will help enhance student success in graduate school. Students should apply online. Applications are reviewed holistically by the PI, Co-PI, and faculty mentor. More information about the program is available by visiting https://wiscience.wisc.edu/IBS-SRP, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Amber Smith at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. David Wassarman 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.

REU 向位于威斯康星州麦迪逊市的威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校授予的这一场地奖，将支持 10 名学生在 2021 年至 2023 年夏季为期 10 周的培训。预计将有 30 名学生接受该计划的培训，这些学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体。学生将研究基因型和环境的多样性以及基因型和环境之间的相互作用如何导致不同的特征或表型。 REU 项目将通过支持学生观察技能的发展以及从多个实验方向处理复杂问题的能力，帮助学生做好迎接这一挑战的准备。需要这些技能来应对挑战，例如生物体如何应对压力以及如何瞄准动植物育种以可持续地为不断增长的人口提供食物和燃料。学生将了解如何进行研究，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。项目结束后将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。该 REU 将培训学生了解可观察的性状和表型如何受到基因型和环境条件的影响。该计划包括来自九个生物科学系（细菌学、生物化学、生物分子化学、植物学、比较生物科学、昆虫学、综合生物学、医学遗传学和神经病学）的研究小组的各种项目。学生将参加研讨会和讲习班，以提高他们的观察、批判性思维、沟通、研究道德和创造力的研究技能。学生将学习引导研究过程的策略，并将学习如何与导师建立有效的关系。他们将获得有助于提高学生在研究生院取得成功的技能和知识。学生应在线申请。申请由 PI、Co-PI 和导师进行全面审核。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问 https://wiscience.wisc.edu/IBS-SRP，或联系 PI（Amber Smith 博士，[e-mail]）或联合 PI（David Wassarman 博士，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。 优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
