The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS, University of Virginia) offers ten students a summer opportunity to conduct independent, self-motivated, interdisciplinary, and original research in experimental, field-based ecology, evolution, and behavior. Under the close supervision and guidance of a research mentor and the program coordinator, students design, execute, analyze, interpret, and present a self-contained research project within the ten weeks of the program. Many student projects are published in leading peer-reviewed journals. Students participate in weekly seminars on the design and conduct of research, scientific ethics, writing and presentation techniques, and other matters of scientific and academic life. Students prepare written and oral proposals and final reports. Participants also take advantage of the rich, varied, and stimulating intellectual and social life at Mountain Lake Biological Station. MLBS hosts two formal research seminars per week, which include both in-house and invited speakers. All Station residents eat meals together in the common dining hall, and most daily activity revolves around the central lab building where all research programs are housed. Since field sites are often within walking distance, interactions among all Station users occur constantly, resulting in a supportive and collaborative environment. Each summer, some 60-80 scientists, faculty, post-docs, and students are in residence at the Station. Students from under-represented groups and those with limited opportunity for research are especially encouraged to apply. Four Historically Black College and University (HBCU) member institutions are active partners in the program. Program information are available at http://mlbs.org/REU.html, or by contacting the REU Coordinator at [e-mail].

在山湖生物站（弗吉尼亚大学MLBS）的本科生（REU）地点的研究经验为十名学生提供了夏季的机会，可以在实验，基于现场的生态，进化和行为方面独立，自我激励，跨学科和原始研究。 在研究导师和计划协调员的密切监督和指导下，学生设计，执行，分析，解释和介绍了该计划的十周内。 许多学生项目发表在领先的同行评审期刊上。 学生参加每周有关研究，科学伦理，写作和演讲技巧的设计和行为以及科学和学术生活事项的研讨会。 学生准备书面和口头建议以及最终报告。 参与者还利用了Mountain Lake Biological Station的富裕，多样化和刺激的知识和社会生活。 MLB每周举办两个正式的研究研讨会，包括内部和受邀演讲者。 所有车站居民在普通餐厅一起吃饭，大多数日常活动都围绕着所有研究计划的中央实验室大楼。 由于现场站点通常位于步行距离之内，因此所有站使用者之间的交互作用不断发生，从而带来了支持和协作的环境。 每年夏天，约60-80名科学家，教职员工，毕业后和学生居住在车站。 特别鼓励来自代表性不足的团体和研究机会有限的学生申请。 该计划的四个历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）成员机构是积极的合作伙伴。 可以通过http://mlbs.org/reu.html获得程序信息，或通过[e-mail]与REU协调员联系。
