ABSTRACTScience is an increasingly collaborative enterprise, and the Tufts University REU program in the Department of Biology trains students in collaborative, interdisciplinary research. The 10-week summer program entitled "Integrative approaches to studying recognition systems in cells, organisms, and populations" will provide 10 students the opportunity to work with two mentors, with one serving as the primary mentor, to conduct research using techniques from different disciplines (development, endocrinology, genetics, neurobiology, animal behavior, plant ecology, conservation biology, and engineering). In addition to designing and conducting an independent research project, students will participate in weekly discussions and seminars, periodic field trips, and a symposium. Overall, the goals of this summer program are to increase students' proficiency in biological research and collaborative skills, to educate and inspire students toward future research careers, and to develop students' ability to effectively communicate scientific results. The Tufts REU program provides students with a stipend, free housing, and assistance with travel expenses to and from Tufts. Tufts REU Site is committed to providing research opportunities for undergraduates, including students traditionally underrepresented in science and those who might not have such opportunities at their home institutions.

AbstractScience是一家越来越多的协作企业，生物学系的Tufts University REU计划培训学生进行协作，跨学科研究。为期10周的夏季计划，题为“研究细胞，有机体和人群中的识别系统的综合方法”将为10名学生提供与两位导师合作的机会，其中一位是主要导师，可以使用来自不同学科的技术（发展，内分泌学，内分泌学，遗传学，神经生物学，动物行为，动物行为，植物生态学，保护生物学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，植物学，植物学，植物生态学生物学和Eromentering）进行研究。 除了设计和进行独立研究项目外，学生还将参加每周的讨论和研讨会，定期实地考察和研讨会。总体而言，这个夏季计划的目标是提高学生对生物学研究和协作技能的熟练程度，教育和激发学生迈向未来的研究职业，并发展学生有效传达科学成果的能力。 Tufts REU计划为学生提供津贴，免费住房和促成塔夫茨的旅行费用的帮助。 Tufts REU网站致力于为大学生提供研究机会，其中包括传统上在科学领域的人数不足，以及那些可能在其家庭机构中没有这种机会的学生。有关更多信息，请参见http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/undergrad/research/reu.asp或通过[e-mail]与Phil Starks联系。
