REU Site: The National Summer Undergraduate Research Project

该奖项全部或部分由2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该REU网站授予亚利桑那大学国家暑期本科生研究项目（NSURP），位于亚利桑那州图森市，将支持35名学生在2022年至2024年期间每年夏季进行为期八周的培训。NSURP是一个虚拟的研究项目，因此被录取的学生将远程参与（即，而不是在湿实验室环境中的机构），并与全国各地的许多实验室之一相匹配。虽然这个项目不需要旅行，但只提供全职参与，适度的住房和膳食支持。预计所有被选中的学生，那些来自代表性不足的群体，将在这个方案中接受培训。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。鉴于该计划侧重于微生物学和免疫学，这些领域的学生培训对劳动力发展具有重大的国家利益。此外，该计划将保持虚拟，以便那些无法亲自旅行的人可以访问，从而为寻求STEM领域职业的边缘化个人提供极大的好处。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具完成。NSURP专注于微生物学的所有领域（宿主微生物，环境微生物学，公共卫生等）。和免疫学（计算、先天、体液、癌症）。由于虚拟和全国性的参与，NSURP涵盖了全国各地的各个部门。参与者将被要求参加每周的研讨会，专业发展讲座和道德培训，及时完成评估，并参加他们正在进行工作的实验室认为必要的所有活动。学生的选择将由一个NSURP董事会根据申请人的答案（但不限于）以下内容：你的职业目标是什么，为什么远程工作是必要的。更多信息，包括以前的NSURP项目的列表和介绍，可以在https://nsurp.org上找到。L.约翰逊）或项目管理员冬青洛佩斯女士在nsurp@arizona.edu。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的，通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This REU Site award to the University of Arizona’s National Summer Undergraduate Research Project (NSURP), located in Tucson, AZ, will support the training of 35 students for eight weeks each summer during 2022 through 2024. NSURP is a virtual research program, so accepted students will participate remotely (i.e., not at an institution in a wet lab setting) and be matched to one of many laboratories around the country. Although there is no travel required for this program, only full-time participation, modest housing and meal support will be offered. It is anticipated that all selected students, those from underrepresented groups, will be trained in this program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Given that this program focuses on microbiology and immunology, student training in these areas is of great national interest to workforce development. Further, this program will remain virtual for accessibility to those unable to travel in person, thus providing great benefit to marginalized individuals seeking careers in STEM fields. Assessment of the program will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program to determine their career paths.NSURP focuses on all fields within microbiology (host-microbe, environmental microbiology, public health, etc.) and immunology (computational, innate, humoral, cancer). Due to the virtual and national participation, NSURP encompasses various departments around the country. Participants will be required to attend weekly seminars, professional development talks, and ethics training, complete assessments promptly, and attend all events deemed necessary by the laboratory in which they are doing the work. Selection of students will be done by a an NSURP board based on the applicant answers (but not limited) to the following: what are your career goals, and why working remotely is necessary. More information, including a list and presentations of previous NSURP projects, can be found at https://nsurp.org. Additional details can be obtained by contacting the PI (Dr. Michael D. L. Johnson) or program administrator Ms. Holly Lopez at nsurp@arizona.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.
