This REU Site award to The Scripps Research Institute is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE program thru a partnership with the NSF REU program. The REU is located in Jupiter, Florida, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. 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 designed, conducted, and presented, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences, and/or through community outreach and social media. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.Mirroring the highly interdisciplinary nature of Scripps’ faculty research, the program at the Scripps Research Institute Florida is an experience at the interface between chemistry and biology. Projects include aging studies in Drosophila, the study of ribosome assembly in yeast, the molecular basis for memory formation, and many others. A strong chemistry program allows for tool development to probe key biological processes such as glycan-mediated protein quality control, RNA transport to the dendrite, or the molecular basis for human diseases. Students will carry out their own research projects under the mentorship of experienced lab personnel and the supervision of world experts in their field. In addition to this hands-on experience of cutting-edge research, students participate in a weekly seminar series to broaden their perspectives on diverse scientific fields, as well as a workshop series to prepare them for graduate school (applications). Student satisfaction and learning outcomes will be assessed using online questionnaires, individual meetings with the PI and coordinator, and via mentor surveys. Applications are accepted online at https://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/summer-research/reu-programs/ and due by 2/15 of each year. Student selection is based on transcripts, statements of purpose and letters of recommendation, and takes into consideration a student’s future potential for scientific research, as well as her/his interest in our program. More information about the program is available by visiting https://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/summer-research/reu-programs/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Katrin Karbstein at [e-mail]) or the program coordinator (Dr. Rosie Albarran-Zeckler 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网站奖斯克里普斯研究所是由国防部的支持，通过与NSF REU计划的伙伴关系。REU位于佛罗里达的朱庇特，将在2020-2022年夏季为10名学生提供为期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。学生将学习如何设计研究，进行和介绍，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果，和/或通过社区宣传和社交媒体。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。反映斯克里普斯的教师研究的高度跨学科性质，在斯克里普斯研究所佛罗里达的程序是在化学和生物学之间的接口的经验。项目包括果蝇的衰老研究、酵母中核糖体组装的研究、记忆形成的分子基础等。强大的化学程序允许工具开发，以探测关键的生物过程，如聚糖介导的蛋白质质量控制，RNA运输到树突，或人类疾病的分子基础。学生将在经验丰富的实验室人员的指导下开展自己的研究项目，并在各自领域的世界专家的监督下进行。除了这种尖端研究的实践经验，学生参加每周一次的研讨会系列，以拓宽他们对不同科学领域的观点，以及一系列研讨会，为他们准备研究生院（应用）。学生的满意度和学习成果将通过在线问卷、与PI和协调员的单独会议以及导师调查进行评估。申请在https://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/summer-research/reu-programs/网站上接受，每年2/15截止。学生的选择是基于成绩单，目的和推荐信的声明，并考虑到学生的科学研究的未来潜力，以及她/他在我们的计划的兴趣。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https：//education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/summer-research/reu-programs/，或联系PI（Katrin Karbstein博士，[e-mail]）或计划协调员（Rosie Albarran-Zeckler博士，[e-mail]）。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审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
