REU Site: CSHL NSF-REU Bioinformatics and Computational Neuroscience Summer Undergraduate Program

该REU场地奖授予位于纽约州冷泉港的冷泉港实验室，将在2020-2022年夏季支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。研究在冷泉港的主校区和纽约州伍德伯里的伍德伯里基因组中心进行。预计共有30名学生将在该方案中接受培训，这些学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校或来自代表性不足的群体。该项目将为学生提供研究、培训和专业技能的发展。许多学生将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。将通过SALG Urssa在线工具对该方案进行评估。学生将在项目结束后被跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。CSHL的生物信息学和计算生物学REU项目为本科生提供基因组学、计算神经科学和数量生物学的研究培训，并帮助他们发展科学身份。学生在CSHL教师导师的指导下进行研究项目，并参加由CSHL教师和项目校友举办的生物信息学和计算神经科学编程研讨会和讲座。他们还参加专业发展讲习班，对他们进行研究道德教育和科学交流培训。暑假的高潮是一个研究研讨会，在研讨会上，学生们向CSHL社区介绍他们的工作。在整个项目中，学生在大学环境中有许多机会与CSHL的科学家以及CSHL会议和课程计划的访问科学家建立网络联系。课程期间和课程结束后都会提供职业发展方面的指导。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://www.cshl.edu/education/undergraduate-research-program/#nsf-reu，网站，或联系PI(杰西·吉利斯博士，jgiis@cshl.edu)或联合PI(Christopher Hammell博士，Chammell@cshl.edu)。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This REU Site award to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, located in Cold Spring Harbor, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020- 2022. Research is conducted at the main campus in Cold Spring Harbor and at the Woodbury Genome Center in Woodbury, NY. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or are from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The program will provide students with research training and development of professional skills. Many of the students will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. 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.The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology REU program at CSHL provides undergraduates with research training in genomics, computational neuroscience, and quantitative biology, and helps them develop their scientific identities. The students undertake a research project with a CSHL faculty mentor, and attend programming workshops and lectures in bioinformatics and computational neuroscience presented by CSHL’s faculty and program alumni. They also attend professional development workshops that educate them on research ethics and trains them in scientific communication. The summer culminates with a research symposium in which the students present their work to the CSHL community. Throughout the program students are provided with numerous opportunities in a collegial environment to network with CSHL scientists, and visiting scientists from the Meetings and Courses Program at CSHL. Guidance on career development is provided during and after the program. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.cshl.edu/education/undergraduate-research-program/#nsf-reu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jesse Gillis at JGillis@cshl.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Christopher Hammell at chammell@cshl.edu).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.
