REU Site--Psychology and Law: Research Experiences for Undergraduates at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

REU网站更新申请是一个结构良好的项目，既有个人研究项目的元素，也有为学生开发合作研究环境的元素。这是2004年和2007年夏季内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的一个成功的REU。他们把来自中西部的学生聚集在一起，围绕心理学和法律这一共同主题进行研究培训。这些学生在这所大学住了整整一年。其目标是为那些已经知道自己想上研究生院（入学要求）的弱势群体成员增加研究生学习的准备，而不仅仅是激发学生对研究生院的潜在兴趣。监测、评估和长期跟踪程序非常出色，包括学习的量化。宣传《资源回收办法》头三年的效力的计划是另一个有价值的更广泛的影响。

This REU site renewal application is a very well structured program with both the elements of individual research projects and those that develop a collaborative research environment for students.This has been a successful REU at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for the summers of 2004 and 2007. They have brought students together from the Midwest for research training around the common theme of psychology and the law.This students take a full year in residence at the university.The goal is to increase preparation for graduate study of members of underrepresented groups who already know they want to go to graduate school (a requirement of admission) rather than just stimulating students' potential interest in graduate school. Monitoring, evaluation, and long-term tracking procedures are excellent, with quantification of learning included. Plans to disseminate the effectiveness of the first three years of the REU is another valuable broader impact.
