An award was made to the Marine Biological Laboratory to provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, for the summers of 2010-2012. This award is also supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) in the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO). The Biological Discovery in Woods Hole program will focus on the molecular and cellular processes that give rise to and regulate complex physiological systems that mediate organismal behavior. The program's goal is to recruit highly motivated students, especially from underrepresented groups and/or schools with limited research opportunities, and to immerse them in research programs under the guidance of mentors selected from visiting summer investigators or year-round scientists at the MBL. Interested students should access the program's website, and submit applications electronically, where they will be reviewed by the admissions committee, with notification in early spring. Each student will be assigned an individual mentor based on mutual interest. We expect the students to be fully integrated into the laboratory and actively participate in the mentor's research program. To augment the research experience, students will participate in field trips, and attend weekly course meetings, seminars and/or luncheons that will explore a wide range of topics to encourage pursuit of a career in biological sciences. The students will also attend lectures on ethics and responsible conduct in research offered by the long running MBL course, Summer Program in Neuroscience Ethics and Survival. The program will culminate in an undergraduate research symposium and poster presentation at the MBL. In conjunction with the MBL education department, we will use the "Kirkpatrick Model" for course assessment. Student experiences will be evaluated at the end of each summer and students will be queried each year after they graduate from the program, to track their career. PI Allen F.

海洋生物实验室获得了一项奖励，将在 2010 年至 2012 年夏季为 10 名学生提供为期 10 周的研究培训。 该奖项还得到了地球科学局 (GEO) 海洋科学部 (OCE) 的支持。 伍兹霍尔生物发现计划将重点关注产生和调节介导有机行为的复杂生理系统的分子和细胞过程。 该项目的目标是招募积极性高的学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体和/或研究机会有限的学校的学生，并让他们在从 MBL 夏季访问研究人员或常年科学家中选出的导师的指导下沉浸在研究项目中。 有兴趣的学生应访问该项目的网站，并以电子方式提交申请，招生委员会将对其进行审核，并在早春发出通知。 根据共同兴趣，每个学生都会被分配一位单独的导师。 我们期望学生能够充分融入实验室，积极参与导师的研究项目。 为了增加研究经验，学生将参加实地考察，并参加每周的课程会议、研讨会和/或午餐会，这些会议将探讨广泛的主题，以鼓励追求生物科学的职业生涯。 学生们还将参加由长期运行的 MBL 课程、神经科学伦理与生存暑期项目提供的关于道德和负责任的研究行为的讲座。 该项目将在 MBL 举行本科生研究研讨会和海报展示中达到高潮。 我们将与MBL教育部门合作，使用“柯克帕特里克模型”进行课程评估。 学生的经历将在每年暑假结束时进行评估，每年项目毕业后都会对学生进行询问，以跟踪他们的职业生涯。 PI Allen F.
