This REU Site award to Princeton University, located in Princeton, NJ, will support the training of 10 students for 9 weeks during the summers of 2018- 2020. All students will be mentored by faculty associated with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) and will be offered a GRE preparatory course; computer programming classes; and other activities designed to help summer students prepare for graduate school. Summer researchers are required to participate in laboratory and safety training seminars and a workshop on the responsible conduct of research. PNI's summer research program is for undergraduates who are seriously considering graduate studies in neuroscience. PNI seeks to support students whose participation will add to the diversity of researchers in the sciences, and are from institutions that do not have large neuroscience research programs. Applicants are required to submit an online application, an unofficial transcript and two letters of recommendation. Completed applications are evaluated by program staff and faculty. Program participants are asked to join PNI's LinkedIn group and create an ORCID account to assist PNI in monitoring their academic and professional progress.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Given the importance of a research experience in the graduate admissions process, this program will provide students with opportunities that they might not otherwise be able to obtain. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences.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 visiting http://pni.princeton.edu/summer-programs/pni-summer-internship-program/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jonathan Cohen at [e-mail]) or the Program Director (Dr. Ed Clayton at [e-mail]).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项授予位于新泽西州普林斯顿大学的普林斯顿大学的REU网站奖将在2018年至2020年夏季对10个学生的培训9周。所有学生将受到与普林斯顿神经科学研究所（PNI）相关的教职员工的指导，并将提供GRE准备课程；计算机编程课；以及旨在帮助夏季学生准备研究生院的其他活动。夏季研究人员必须参加实验室和安全培训研讨会，并进行有关负责任的研究的研讨会。 PNI的夏季研究计划是针对认真考虑神经科学研究生研究的大学生的。 PNI试图支持参加参与的学生，这些学生将增加科学研究人员的多样性，并且来自没有大型神经科学研究计划的机构。申请人必须提交在线申请，一个非官方的成绩单和两个推荐信。 完成的申请由计划人员和教职员工评估。要求计划参与者加入PNI的LinkedIn小组，并创建一个OrcID帐户，以帮助PNI监视其学术和专业进步。预计，总共有30名学生（主要来自具有有限研究机会的学校的学生）将接受该计划的培训。鉴于研究经验在研究生录​​取过程中的重要性，该计划将为学生提供原本无法获得的机会。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。所有由生物基础设施部门资助的REU网站计划使用的常见基于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://pni.princeton.edu/summer-progmss/pni-summer-internship-program/，或通过与PI联系（[e-mail]）或计划总监（jonathan cohen博士）或计划总监（Ed eD Clayton at ec12 nercy nistrincen.eds.eds.edis andsf）认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持。
