Duke University's Summer REU Program in "Mechanisms of Behavior" provides an emphasis on integrative, systems, and behavioral neuroscience. The focus on the study of animal learning and behavior unifies faculty research interests within this interdisciplinary field and serves as the common theme for the individual projects available to student participants in the program. The program is designed to provide opportunities for highly qualified individuals; including women, minority, and disabled undergraduate students who would like to expand their laboratory skills. Each summer, undergraduate students will participate in a 10-week research program that includes a one-on-one mentorship with a participating faculty member. In addition, 3 weekly seminar series including "Research in the Neurosciences", "Science Basics", and "Science Ethics and Practice" will serve to integrate the individual laboratory experiences. The primary goal of the program is to provide opportunities for undergraduates to receive training in the cutting-edge methodologies of behavioral neuroscience and genomics. Mentors for the program are prominent researchers in their fields and have substantial experience in supervising and training undergraduates. The students will work on research projects that are within their grasp, and which present real opportunities for new discoveries that will be of value to the neuroscience community.Dr. Warren H. Meck will be the point-of-contact for student recruitment (Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, 103 Research Drive, Box 91050, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708.

杜克大学（Duke University）在“行为机制”方面的夏季REU计划将重点放在综合，系统和行为神经科学方面。对动物学习和行为的研究的重点是该跨学科领域的教师研究兴趣，并作为该计划中学生参与者可用的单个项目的共同主题。该计划旨在为高素质的个人提供机会；包括妇女，少数民族和残疾本科生，他们希望扩大实验室技能。每年夏天，本科生都会参加为期10周的研究计划，其中包括与参与教职员工的一对一指导。 此外，包括“神经科学研究”，“科学基础知识”和“科学伦理与实践”的3个每周一次研讨会系列将有助于整合单个实验室经验。该计划的主要目标是为大学生提供在行为神经科学和基因组学的尖端方法中接受培训的机会。该计划的导师是其领域的著名研究人员，在监督和培训本科生方面拥有丰富的经验。学生将研究掌握的研究项目，并为新发现提供了真正的机会，这些发现对神经科学社区有价值。沃伦·H·梅克（Warren H. 有关该程序的更多信息，请访问：http：//www.duke.edu/neurosci/research/mob.html。
