This REU Site award to the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Notre Dame, located in South Bend, IN, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. 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. The program focuses on providing participants a comprehensive introduction to scientific research. It will give students experience in generating and analyzing their own research results as well as effectively reporting scientific information. It will also educate them on the important issues of professionalism, ethical conduct, collaboration, and other skills needed to succeed in the scientific arena. The recruitment of underrepresented minority students, and students without access to research will be a high priority to increase the diversity of students pursuing research careers. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. The NSF ETAP system will be used to register participants (https://www.nsfetap.gov/). Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The program “Integrative Cell and Molecular Biology" will provide students with independent research projects within an interdisciplinary research community. Program mentors are drawn from varied disciplines, including genetics, cell biology, physiology, neuroscience, evolution, ecology and biochemistry. Components of the program include formulating research proposals, presenting results at a symposium, writing a research paper and attending weekly seminars and interactive workshops on topics like integrative research, research ethics, the publication process and scientific writing. Students will be selected based on academic record, the quality of the personal statement/cover letter, recommendation letters, a sincere desire to pursue a research career, and potential for outstanding research in cell/molecular biology. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www3.nd.edu/~biosreu/ , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Xuemin Lu at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Michelle Whaley at [e-mail]).This site is supported by the Department of Defense 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网站奖给生物科学系在圣母大学，位于南本德，IN，将支持10名学生的培训10周在2023年至2025年的夏天。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。该计划的重点是为参与者提供科学研究的全面介绍。它将为学生提供生成和分析自己的研究结果以及有效报告科学信息的经验。它还将教育他们在专业精神，道德行为，合作，以及在科学竞技场取得成功所需的其他技能的重要问题。招聘代表性不足的少数民族学生和无法获得研究的学生将是一个高度优先事项，以增加追求研究事业的学生的多样性。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。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行。NSF ETAP系统将用于注册参与者（https：//www.nsfetap.gov/）。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。“综合细胞和分子生物学”课程将为学生提供跨学科研究社区内的独立研究项目。项目导师来自不同学科，包括遗传学、细胞生物学、生理学、神经科学、进化论、生态学和生物化学。该计划的组成部分包括制定研究计划，在研讨会上展示成果，撰写研究论文，并参加每周研讨会和互动研讨会，主题包括综合研究，研究伦理，出版过程和科学写作。学生将根据学习成绩，个人陈述/求职信的质量，推荐信，追求研究事业的真诚愿望，以及在细胞/分子生物学方面的杰出研究潜力进行选择。有关该项目的更多信息，请访问https://www3.nd.edu/~biosreu/，或联系PI（Dr. Xuemin Lu at [e-mail]）或联合PI（Dr. Michelle Whaley at [e-mail]）。该网站由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。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。
