This REU Site award to Princeton University, located in Princeton, NJ, will support the training of 10 students annually for 9 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 conduct research projects with faculty and trainees at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) and will present the results of their work at an end of summer in an internal research conference, as well as at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium. 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. Research at PNI spans the breadth of field, from molecular to human cognition to theoretical neuroscience. Summer interns are assigned to one lab for the duration of the program for an independent research project. PNI also offers a 9-week professional development workshop aimed at helping students successfully compete for entry into PhD programs in neuroscience or related fields. The summer program offers coding classes in Matlab and Python. Faculty give weekly lectures on their own research, and REU students willhave an opportunity to meet with former interns who have gone on to graduate programs and other research positions. An NSF GRFP workshop will take place mid-summer. In addition, there are weekly responsible conduct of research discussions. All students will present their research at the end of the program and will be invited to attend the Society for Neuroscience Annual meeting. To apply to the program, students are required to submit a personal statement, transcripts, and two letters of recommendation to be reviewed by the program Director and faculty members. More information about the program is available by visiting http://pni.princeton.edu/education/summer-programs, or by contacting the Director of the program, Dr. Ed Clayton ([e-mail]) or the PI, Dr. Jonathan Cohen ([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.

位于新泽西州普林斯顿的普林斯顿大学的REU网站奖将在2022 - 2024年夏季期间每年支持10名学生的培训9周。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。学生将与普林斯顿神经科学研究所（PNI）的教师和学员进行研究项目，并将在夏季结束时在内部研究会议以及领导联盟全国研讨会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。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。PNI的研究跨越了从分子到人类认知到理论神经科学的广泛领域。暑期实习生被分配到一个实验室的程序的独立研究项目的持续时间。PNI还提供为期9周的专业发展研讨会，旨在帮助学生成功竞争进入神经科学或相关领域的博士课程。暑期课程提供Matlab和Python的编码课程。教师们每周都会就他们自己的研究进行讲座，REU的学生将有机会与已经进入研究生课程和其他研究职位的前实习生见面。NSF GRFP研讨会将于仲夏举行。此外，每周还负责进行研究讨论。所有学生将在课程结束时展示他们的研究，并将被邀请参加神经科学学会年会。要申请该计划，学生必须提交个人陈述，成绩单和两封推荐信，由计划主任和教师审查。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http：//pni.princeton.edu/education/summer-programs，或联系该计划的主任，艾德克莱顿博士（[e-mail]）或PI，乔纳森科恩博士（[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
