This REU Site award to the University of Missouri (MU), located in Columbia, MO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. 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. Starting with a 1-week boot camp, students attend a weekly class on computational neuroscience, conduct lab research as well as participate in various seminars and workshops on topics such as the responsible conduct of research, professional skills, career opportunities, and the graduate school application process. Each student will have the opportunity to write reports, and design and present a scientific poster. They will form 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 selected based on academic record, research performance, and potential for research in neuroscience. Participant support during the REU experience will include a stipend, lodging and food, travel to and from the university, and funding for the research project.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Applications from underrepresented groups and minority institutions are encouraged.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visitinghttp://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2017年至2019年的夏季，位于密苏里州密苏里大学（MU）的REU网站奖将支持10个学生的培训10周。MU是密苏里州和密苏里大学系统的旗舰校园最大的高等教育机构。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。从一个为期1周的新兵训练营开始，学生参加了每周一次的计算神经科学课程，进行实验室研究，并参加有关主题的各种研讨会和讲习班，例如负责任的研究，专业技能，职业机会和研究生院申请流程。每个学生都有机会编写报告，设计并介绍科学海报。他们将组成来自美国各地的100多名本科研究人员的一部分，他们每年夏天都会参加一项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，并根据学术记录，研究表现以及神经科学研究的潜力进行选择。参与者在REU体验期间的支持将包括津贴，住宿和食物，往返大学的旅行以及研究项目的资金。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将接受该计划的培训。鼓励代表性不足的群体和少数群体机构的申请。所有由生物基础设施部门资助的REU网站计划使用的常见的基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。计划后将跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关该程序的更多信息，可以通过访问http：//engineering.missouri.edu/neuroreu/，或通过与PI联系（[e-mail]）或Co-pi（[e-mail]）与PI（Satish S. Nair博士联系）或Co-pi（David J. Schulz博士）。
