This REU Site award to the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, located in San Juan, PR, will support the training of 10 students for 9 weeks during the summers of 2019- 2021. IQ-BIO-REU offers opportunities to be immersed in research and receive training in statistics, data analysis and its application to investigate biological phenomena from molecules to ecosystems. Participants will take on projects that allow for the simultaneous exploration of multiple STEM domains, such as the integration of quantitative analyses towards understanding changes in the physical and biochemical traits of organisms and the use of big data and machine learning approaches to document the effects of environmental changes on biological systems. Skill development workshops on the use of statistical and computational tools to address biological problems will scaffold the hands-on work. Career development workshops will offer guidance in the process of applying to graduate school, obtaining funds for research, and exposure to career opportunities. The criteria for evaluation will be academic performance and a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in science at the intersection of biology and computational sciences.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students in any STEM field, particularly individuals from groups historically underrepresented in science, are encouraged to apply. Students will participate in a scholarly environment throughout the summer including the presentation of their work and achievements at a student hackathon. After participating in the program, students will be encouraged to present their work at national and international 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://iqbioreu.uprrp.edu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Juan S. Ramirez-Lugo at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Patricia Ordonez 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PR的圣胡安的波多黎各大学的REU网站奖，将在2019年至2021年的夏季支持10个学生的培训，为期9周。IQ-BIO-REU提供了浸入其中的机会研究和接受统计，数据分析及其应用的培训，以研究分子到生态系统的生物学现象。参与者将进行允许同时探索多个STEM领域的项目，例如，定量分析的整合以了解生物体物理和生化特征的变化，并使用大数据和机器学习方法来记录环境的影响生物系统的变化。有关使用统计和计算工具来解决生物学问题的技能开发研讨会将赢得动手工作。职业发展研讨会将在申请研究生院的过程中提供指导，获得研究资金以及接触职业机会。评估的标准将是学业表现，并且有兴趣在生物学和计算科学的交集中从事科学职业。预计，总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将接受培训。程序。鼓励任何STEM领域的学生，尤其是来自历史上代表科学的人数不足的群体的个人，都被鼓励申请。学生将在整个夏季参与学术环境，包括在学生黑客马拉松上的工作和成就。参加该计划后，将鼓励学生在国家和国际会议上介绍他们的作品。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的有效性程序。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。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问http://iqbioreu.uprp.edu，或通过与PI联系（[e-mail]）或Co-Pi（Juan S. Ramirez-lugo博士）或Co-Pi（博士）（博士）（博士）（博士Patricia ordonez的[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
