This REU Site award to the University of Washington, located in Seattle, WA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks each summer from 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. Participants will gain valuable knowledge in an area of research that has significant and growing global impact on the quality of life. Assessment of the program will be done using the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The scientific theme will focus on the emerging domain of neural engineering. This research area encompasses the development of concepts and devices used to assist, understand, and interact with neural systems. Because neural engineering is an interdisciplinary topic, students will be assigned to laboratories in several departments including Bioengineering, Biology, Physiology and Biophysics, Psychology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Computer Sciences and Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In addition to laboratory work, students will participate in a communications course and workshops to improve their presentation and writing skills. All REU participants will complete a Responsible Conduct of Research Training including discussions about the ethical conduct of research. A special workshop will be provided about how ethical issues might arise in the field of sensorimotor neural engineering. Talented undergraduates, especially those from under-represented groups and who have completed their freshman and sophomore years, are encouraged to apply. The selection of students is based on the quality of the students' written materials in their application, letters of recommendation and academic record. More information about the program is available by visiting https://centerforneurotech.uw.edu/content/research-experience-undergraduates, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Eric H. Chudler at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Rajesh Rao at [e-mail]). This award is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE Program in partnership with the NSF REU Program.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网站奖给位于华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学，将支持10名学生从2022年至2024年每年夏天10周的培训。预计共有30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，将在该方案中接受培训。 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。参与者将获得一个研究领域的宝贵知识，该领域对生活质量具有重大且日益增长的全球影响。该计划的评估将使用在线SALG URSSA工具进行。项目结束后将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。科学主题将集中在神经工程的新兴领域。该研究领域包括用于辅助，理解和与神经系统交互的概念和设备的开发。由于神经工程是一个跨学科的主题，学生将被分配到几个部门的实验室，包括生物工程，生物学，生理学和生物物理学，心理学，康复医学，计算机科学和工程，电气工程和机械工程。除了实验室工作，学生将参加通信课程和研讨会，以提高他们的演讲和写作技巧。所有REU参与者将完成研究培训的负责任行为，包括关于研究道德行为的讨论。一个特别的研讨会将提供关于如何在感觉运动神经工程领域可能出现的伦理问题。鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，并已完成大一和大二的学生申请。学生的选择是基于学生的书面材料在他们的应用程序，推荐信和学习成绩的质量。 有关该计划的更多信息可通过访问https：//centerforneutech.uw.edu/content/research-experience-undergraduates，或通过联系PI（博士埃里克H。Chudler在[e-mail]）或共同PI（Rajesh Rao博士在[e-mail]）。该奖项由国防部ASSURE计划与NSF REU计划合作支持。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而被认为值得支持。
