The Duke University REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2012. Ten students will be selected each year to participate in an intensive 10-week research program in "Mechanisms of Behavior". The program 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 the research program that includes a one-on-one mentorship with a participating faculty member. In addition, three weekly seminar series including "Research in the Neurosciences", "Science Basics", and "Science Ethics and Practice" will serve to integrate the individual laboratory experience. 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.

杜克大学REU网站将在2009 - 2012年夏季为大学生提供研究计划。每年将选择十名学生参加“行为机制”的一项密集的10周研究计划。该计划强调综合，系统和行为神经科学。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。该计划旨在为愿意扩大实验室技能的高素质个人，包括妇女，少数民族和残疾本科生提供机会。每年夏天，本科生都会参加研究计划，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”的三个每周一次研讨会系列将有助于整合单个实验室的经验。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，并为新发现提供了对神经科学社区有价值的新发现的真正机会。可以在http://unp.aas.duke.edu/research/mob.php上找到其他信息，也可以通过包含计划主任Warren H. Meck博士的919-660-5765或[e-mail]。
