This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This REU Site award to Florida A&M University, located in Tallahassee, FL, will support the training of 8 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022 - 2024. It is anticipated that a total of 24 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The REU participants will gain research experience in cutting-edge technologies to encourage pursuit of advanced degrees and careers in STEM. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Students will be encouraged to form networks critical to their development as scientists. This REU program focuses on systems biology research, integrating Omics Technologies and Data Science, to understand interactions in a living system. A multidisciplinary faculty team from biology, chemistry, and computer science will serve as mentors. Examples of research projects for REU students include investigations that 1) Determine molecular responses for cross-tolerance mechanism in the host using both abiotic and biotic factors; 2) Unravel the disease pathways and networks in model organisms, and 3) Develop computational models to predict plant-host interactions. This program will train students on the responsible conduct of research and laboratory biosafety. Recruitment of students will utilize hard copy and digital-based advertising. Students will be selected based on their academic record, faculty recommendations, and research interest. Students will be tracked to determine their continued interest in their area of study and the lasting influence of the research experience. Assessment of the program will be done through the Student Assessment of Learning Goals (SALG URSSA https://salgsite.net). More information about the program is available by visiting http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm? or by contacting the PI, Dr. Ramesh Katam ([e-mail]; 850-559-3134) or the co-PI, Dr. Virginia Gottschalk, ([e-mail]) 850-561-2750).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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）资助。该 REU 站点奖项授予位于佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的佛罗里达 A&M 大学，将支持 8 名学生在 2022 年至 2024 年夏季为期 10 周的培训。预计总共 24 名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的学校组，将接受该计划的培训。 REU 参与者将获得尖端技术的研究经验，以鼓励追求 STEM 领域的高级学位和职业。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。我们将鼓励学生建立对他们作为科学家的发展至关重要的网络。该 REU 项目专注于系统生物学研究，整合组学技术和数据科学，以了解生命系统中的相互作用。来自生物学、化学和计算机科学的多学科教师团队将担任导师。 REU 学生的研究项目示例包括以下调查： 1) 使用非生物和生物因素确定宿主交叉耐受机制的分子反应； 2) 揭示模型生物中的疾病途径和网络，3) 开发计算模型来预测植物与宿主的相互作用。该计划将培训学生负责任地进行研究和实验室生物安全。学生招募将利用硬拷贝和数字广告。将根据学生的学术记录、教师推荐和研究兴趣来选择学生。我们将跟踪学生以确定他们对学习领域的持续兴趣以及研究经历的持久影响。该计划的评估将通过学生学习目标评估（SALG URSSA https://salgsite.net）进行。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问 http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?或者联系 PI，Ramesh Katam 博士（[e-mail]；850-559-3134）或联合 PI，Virginia Gottschalk 博士，（[e-mail]）850-561-2750）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持 审查标准。
