This REU Site award to University of Missouri (MU) located Columbia, MO, will support the training of 12 students for 9 weeks during the summers of 2014- 2016. MU is the largest institution of higher learning in Missouri and the flagship campus of the University of Missouri System. The program offers a wide range of very exciting interdisciplinary projects in neuroscience, with both wet-lab and computational components. The projects are drawn from all levels in neuroscience (i.e., intracellular/cellular, systems and behavioral levels), with participating faculty coming from the colleges of arts & science, engineering, and veterinary medicine. Students will attend a weekly class on computational neuroscience, conduct lab research, and participate in various seminars and professional development workshops on topics such as responsible conduct in research, communication skills, career opportunities in industry and academia, and the graduate school application process. Each student will have the opportunity to write reports, give presentations and design and present a scientific poster. They will also be part of a group of 100+ undergraduate researchers from all over U.S. who participate each summer in a vibrant summer research program (http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/). All participants will be recruited from outside MU, and selection will be based on academic record, research performance, and potential for research in neuroscience. Participant support during the REU experience will include a stipend, lodging, food, travel to and from the university, and funding for the research project.Diversity strengthens the experience for all students. Therefore, the program will emphasize recruitment from institutions without advanced research programs, and from historically black and traditional women's colleges. The team will follow-up with students to determine their continued interest in the chosen academic area and their career paths. Information about the program will be assessed by various means, including use of a BIO/REU common assessment tool. 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://engineering.missouri.edu/neuroreu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Satish S. Nair at [e-mail]) or co-PI (Dr. David J. Schulz at [e-mail]).

在2014年至2016年夏季，该授予密苏里大学（MU）的REU网站奖将支持12名学生的培训9周。MU是密苏里州最大的高等教育机构和密苏里大学系统的旗舰校园。该计划在神经科学中提供了各种非常令人兴奋的跨学科项目，并具有湿式和计算组件。这些项目来自神经科学的各个层次（即细胞内/细胞，系统和行为水平），参与教师来自艺术与科学，工程和兽医学院。学生将参加每周一次的计算神经科学课程，进行实验室研究，并参加各种研讨会和专业发展研讨会，例如负责任的研究，沟通技巧，工业和学术界的职业机会以及研究生院申请流程。每个学生都有机会编写报告，进行演讲和设计，并介绍科学海报。他们还将成为来自美国各地的100多名本科研究人员的一部分，他们每年夏天都会参加充满活力的夏季研究计划（http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/）。所有参与者将从MU外部招募，而选择将基于学术记录，研究表现和神经科学研究的潜力。参与者在REU体验期间的支持将包括津贴，住宿，食物，往返大学旅行以及研究项目的资金。多样性增强了所有学生的体验。因此，该计划将强调没有高级研究计划以及历史悠久的黑人和传统女性大学的机构招聘。该团队将与学生进行跟进，以确定他们对所选学术领域和职业道路的持续兴趣。有关该计划的信息将通过各种方式进行评估，包括使用Bio/REU共同评估工具。要求学生在计划后进行跟踪，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://engineering.missouri.edu/neuroreu/或与PI（[e-mail]）或Co-pi（[e-mail]）联系（Satish S. Nair博士）或Co-pi（david J. Schulz博士），获得更多信息。
