This REU Site award to the University of Washington, located in Seattle, WA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2015-2017. The REU program is open to all undergraduate students who are citizens, nationals or permanent residents of the United States. Students who participate in the program gain skills in lab research, develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, understand the process of science, and communicate their research results to their peers and the general public. Students will have an opportunity to present their results in a national conference. The REU program provides students an experience that is typically not available to them in their academic curriculum. Students from schools with limited opportunities for research and from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.The goal of this REU Site is to provide a carefully mentored research experience for talented undergraduate students at the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE). Each undergraduate student will enter a collaborative team with a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow mentor and a faculty member as they undertake a research project. The team will focus on a CSNE project that has been carefully selected as a good example of interdisciplinary biosciences and engineering research and one that has ties to industry interests. The students will also participate in a weekly communications course and journal club that deals with both oral presentation and writing skills. Each student will be required to write a journal style report of their research for publication and deliver an oral and poster presentation of their summer research in a mini-symposium session. Emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from under-represented groups. The common assessment tool provided by the NSF BIO program will be used to assess the REU program.Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by visiting http://www.csne-erc.org , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Eric H. Chudler at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Thomas Daniel at [e-mail]).

在华盛顿州西雅图市华盛顿大学的REU网站奖将在2015 - 2017年夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。 REU计划向美国公民，国民或永久居民的所有本科生开放。参加该计划的学生可以获得实验室研究技能，发展他们的批判性思维和解决问题的技能，了解科学的过程，并将其研究结果传达给同龄人和公众。学生将有机会在全国会议上提出结果。 REU计划为学生提供了一种在学术课程中通常无法获得的经验。鼓励来自研究机会和代表性不足小组的学校的学生。该REU网站的目的是为感觉运动神经工程中心（CSNE）的才华横溢的本科生提供精心指导的研究经验。每位本科生将与研究生或博士后同学和一名教职员工一起参加研究项目。该团队将专注于一个CSNE项目，该项目已被精心列为跨学科生物科学和工程研究的一个很好的例子，并且与行业兴趣有联系。学生还将参加每周介绍口头介绍和写作技巧的通信课程和期刊俱乐部。每个学生都将被要求写出他们的研究的期刊样式报告，并在迷你群岛会议上提供夏季研究的口头和海报介绍。重点将放在从代表性不足的群体中招募学生。 NSF Bio计划提供的常见评估工具将用于评估REU计划。该计划必须在该程序后进行跟踪，并且必须响应通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。可以通过访问http://www.csne-erc.org或与PI联系（通过[e-mail]）或Co-pi（托马斯·丹尼尔（Thomas Daniel）博士，[e-mail]）获得更多信息。
