This REU site at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is partially supported by the Department of Defense through an interagency agreement with the National Science Foundation. The REU program is part of a larger summer Undergraduate Research Program (URP) at CSHL, providing an opportunity for students to learn about bioinformatics and computational biology by conducting intensive research under the supervision of a mentor. Ten students are accepted to the 10-week NSF REU summer research program. Students learn about scientific reasoning, laboratory methods, theoretical principles, and scientific communication. In addition to research, participants attend seminars, workshops, panel discussions on careers in science, lectures on ethics, and special events designed specifically for them. At the URP Symposium held at the end of each summer, students present a summary of their research to their peers and advisors. Students also write a final report, similar to a scientific abstract, to describe his or her project. Students are also encouraged to attend advanced courses at CSHL to learn the latest experimental techniques in different fields and to seek advice about their future schooling and research. By the end of the program, students are well equipped to decide whether scientific research is a career they would like to pursue. The program is open to all US citizens or permanent residents, and applications from under-represented minority groups are encouraged.

在冷泉港实验室（CSHL）的REU站点通过与国家科学基金会的机构间协议部分支持了国防部。 REU计划是CSHL较大的夏季本科研究计划（URP）的一部分，为学生提供了一个机会，可以通过在导师的监督下进行密集研究来了解生物信息学和计算生物学。 10周的NSF REU夏季研究计划接受了十名学生。 学生了解科学推理，实验室方法，理论原则和科学交流。 除研究外，参与者还参加了研讨会，研讨会，有关科学职业的小组讨论，有关道德的讲座以及专门为他们设计的特殊活动。在每年夏天结束时举行的URP研讨会上，学生们向同龄人和顾问提供了有关研究的摘要。学生还写了一份类似于科学摘要的最终报告，以描述他或她的项目。 还鼓励学生参加CSHL的高级课程，以学习不同领域的最新实验技术，并就其未来的教育和研究寻求建议。在计划结束时，学生有能力决定科学研究是否是他们想从事的职业。该计划向所有美国公民或永久居民开放，并鼓励代表不足的少数群体的申请。可以通过访问www.cshl.edu/urp/nsf-reu获得更多信息，或通过516-367-6911或[e-mail]与沃森生物科学学院联系。
