REU Site in Neuroscience for Undergraduates from Rural and Tribal Colleges

这个REU网站，部落学院的北达科他州协会和北达科他州的大学的合作伙伴关系，将提供动手在神经科学的研究经验为9名学生每年夏天（8第一年）。来自部落和农村大学的学生将被招募参加该计划。所有的学生，包括那些通过北达科他州部落学院协会提供奖学金的学生，将与教师导师配对，并在北达科他州大学进行研究。该计划的主要目标是（1）促进学术和社会独立性，（2）促进对研究和科学事业的兴趣，（3）鼓励学生参与者的专业发展。学生将首先接受为期一周的细胞，分子和成像技术培训，然后在教师的指导下开发自己的研究项目。学生将参加每周的专业发展会议，其中包括口头和书面陈述，数据分析和适当的研究行为的指导。学生将被要求在会议结束时提交他们的研究结果，这将为他们在区域或国家会议上的专业科学报告做准备。工资和食宿将提供给所有学生。希望参与的美国印第安人和农村学生将选择攻读科学研究生学位，并返回他们的社区，以帮助加强科学教育，研究和扫盲。申请和其他有关信息可在http：//www.und.pylak.edu/pylt/spyle上查阅，或从班尼特博士（bbennett@ndatc.org）、货车Doze博士（medicine.nodak.edu）和Sally Pyle博士（sally. pyle@www.example.com）处查阅。und.nodak.edu学生可以打电话或写信给琳达哈蒙，（701-777-2621，邮政信箱9019，大福克斯，ND 58202-9019）邮寄申请材料。

This REU Site, a partnership of the North Dakota Association of Tribal Colleges and the University of North Dakota, will provide hands-on research experience in neuroscience for 9 students each summer (8 the 1st year). Students from Tribal and rural colleges will be recruited to participate in the program. All students, including those with scholarships provided through the North Dakota Association of Tribal Colleges, will be paired with faculty mentors and perform their research at the University of North Dakota. The primary objectives of the program are to (1) foster academic and social independence, (2) promote an interest in research and science careers, and (3) encourage professional development for student participants. Students will initially receive one week of training in cell, molecular and imaging techniques and then develop their own research projects under the mentorship of faculty. Students will attend weekly professional development sessions that will include instruction in oral and written presentations, data analysis and proper research conduct. Students will be expected to present their findings at an end of session symposium, which will prepare them for professional scientific presentations at a regional or national meeting. Salary and room and board will be provided for all students. The hope is that participating American Indian and rural students will choose to pursue graduate degrees in the sciences and return to their communities to help strengthen science education, research and literacy.
