REU Site: REU Site in Quantitative Biological Research

该REU网站奖授予位于纽约州纽约市的纽约大学，将在2022年至2024年的夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的培训。预计总共有30名学生将接受该项目的培训，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。重点将放在定量研究上，因为科学进步越来越需要定量技能以及对大数据集的分析和解释。该计划的评估将通过在线调查工具完成。课程结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。位于华盛顿广场校区的生物系实验室将接待学生。研究涵盖了不同的主题，包括基因组学，生物信息学，生态学和进化，蛋白质组学，发育和细胞生物学，并使用各种生物体，包括微生物，植物，蠕虫和苍蝇。学生将进行研究，包括设计实验，收集和分析定量数据。该项目包括一个R语言研讨会和每周有组织的会议，以支持文献阅读、制作演示文稿、职业发展、与导师建立联系、道德培训和负责任的研究行为。参与者的选择由项目主管和导师进行，采用综合方法，考虑分数以外的多个变量。该项目和教师高度协作，并与纽约市科学界的其他项目进行互动。有关该项目的更多信息，请访问https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/biology/outreach/surp.html，或通过surp.biology@nyu.edu.This与项目负责人联系。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行了评估，认为值得支持。

This REU Site award to New York University, located in New York City, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, 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. Emphasis will be on quantitative research, as scientific progress increasingly requires quantitative skills and the analysis and interpretation of large data sets. Assessment of the program will be done through an online survey tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.Department of Biology laboratories located at the Washington Square Campus will host the students. Research encompasses diverse topics, including genomics, bioinformatics, ecology and evolution, proteomics, developmental and cellular biology, and usese various organisms, including microbes, plants, worms, and flies. The students will perform research involving designing experiments, gathering and analyzing quantitative data. The program includes an R workshop and weekly structured meetings to support literature reading, crafting presentations, career development, networking with mentors, training in ethics and responsible conduct of research. Participant selection is conducted by the program directors and mentors using a holistic approach that considers multiple variables beyond grades. The program and the faculty are highly collaborative and additionally interact with other programs in the NYC scientific community. More information on the program is available by visiting https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/biology/outreach/surp.html, or by contacting the PIs at surp.biology@nyu.edu.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.
