This REU Site award to The University of Pittsburgh, located in Pittsburgh, PA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 40 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an underrepresented group, will be trained in the program called Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio). Rising Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors from the life, physical, and computer sciences and engineering are encouraged to apply. The TECBio REU is positioned to provide foundational training to students in the emerging field of computational biology. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. Following completion of the program, TECBio alumni will receive continued mentoring by program directors and mentors, who will track and maintain contact with students in order to determine and support their career paths. The TECBio REU @ Pitt is housed in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology at the University of Pittsburgh and has the scientific focus of “multiscale modeling, simulation, and systems-level analyses for biological discovery”. TECBio students can expect a challenging and fulfilling experience that will prepare them for graduate school success. TECBio students pick from 35 diverse research mentors in 5 major research areas at the cutting-edge of computational biology (computational structural biology, computational drug discovery, genomics/bioinformatics, bioimage informatics, and systems biology). Students will also receive training in how to be a more effective mentee, participate in a journal club, attend research and career seminars, learn the responsible conduct of research, present at symposia, and participate in social, cohort-building, networking, and leadership-enhancing events. Successful applicants will demonstrate a desire to pursue interdisciplinary research and graduate training in computational biology or related fields. More information about the program is available on our website www.tecbioreu.pitt.edu or by contacting the PI (Dr. Joe Ayoob at [e-mail]) or the Program Coordinator (Mr. Adam Kohlhaas 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网站奖匹兹堡大学，位于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡，将支持10名学生在2021年至2024年的夏天10周的培训。预计共有40名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体，将在名为计算生物学培训和实验（TECBio）的计划中接受培训。鼓励来自生命，物理和计算机科学与工程的大二，大三和大四学生申请。TECBio REU的定位是为计算生物学新兴领域的学生提供基础培训。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行。该计划完成后，TECBio校友将获得项目总监和导师的持续指导，他们将跟踪并保持与学生的联系，以确定和支持他们的职业道路。 TECBio REU @ Pitt位于匹兹堡大学计算和系统生物学系，其科学重点是“生物发现的多尺度建模，模拟和系统级分析”。TECBio的学生可以期待一个具有挑战性和充实的经验，这将为他们准备研究生院的成功。TECBio学生从35个不同的研究导师中挑选5个主要研究领域的计算生物学前沿（计算结构生物学，计算药物发现，基因组学/生物信息学，生物图像信息学和系统生物学）。学生还将接受如何成为更有效的学员的培训，参加期刊俱乐部，参加研究和职业研讨会，学习负责任的研究行为，出席研讨会，并参加社交，队列建设，网络和领导力增强活动。成功的申请人将表现出在计算生物学或相关领域进行跨学科研究和研究生培训的愿望。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问我们的网站www.tecbioreu.pitt.edu或联系PI（Joe Ayoob博士，[e-mail]）或计划协调员（Adam Kohlhaas先生，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
