This award will support the participation of 10 undergraduate students each year in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior (CISAB) at Indiana University, Bloomington. The program is ten weeks in length and focuses on recruiting undergraduate students from groups currently underrepresented in the sciences. This program is a new REU site that will build on the formal undergraduate internship program offered by CISAB for the past two years and on CISAB's collective experience with undergraduate training. Students will conduct research projects and present their findings at a concluding symposium. They will also attend (1) a team-taught course introducing research issues and techniques in the areas represented by CISAB faculty, (2) classes on mentoring and career issues taught via the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's campus-wide Summer Research Opportunities Program, and (3) seminars on ethics and conduct in science taught in conjunction with the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics & American Institutions. The program will give students intensive research experience and will introduce them to science as a profession, to interdisciplinary modes of thinking, and to specific research techniques used in the study of animal behavior. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in the diverse aspects of animal behavior.

该奖项将支持每年10名本科生参与布卢明顿印第安纳大学动物行为综合研究中心（CISAB）提供的本科生研究经验。 该计划的长度为十个星期，重点是从科学中占人数不足的小组的招募本科生。 该计划是一个新的REU网站，它将建立在CISAB在过去两年中提供的正式本科实习计划以及CISAB在本科培训中的集体经验。 学生将进行研究项目，并在结束的研讨会上介绍他们的发现。 They will also attend (1) a team-taught course introducing research issues and techniques in the areas represented by CISAB faculty, (2) classes on mentoring and career issues taught via the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's campus-wide Summer Research Opportunities Program, and (3) seminars on ethics and conduct in science taught in conjunction with the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics & American Institutions. 该计划将为学生提供密集的研究经验，并将他们介绍给科学作为一种职业，跨学科的思维方式以及用于动物行为研究的特定研究技术。 该奖项将促进对将成为下一代基础研究人员在动物行为的各个方面的一部分的个人的持续教育和培训。
