This REU Site award to the University of Missouri, Columbia, MU, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2023. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The goal is to recruit 90% of the students from non-PhD granting institutions. Students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.This REU Site will train undergraduates in interdisciplinary neuroscience, with a focus on computational methods. The program starts with a one-week boot-camp on computational tools and technical writing. Neuroscience faculty members from the Colleges of Arts & Science, Engineering, Vet Med, and Medicine train undergraduates in research, in projects that range across the neuroscience spectrum, e.g., neuronal homeostasis and compensation (intracellular), mechanisms of exocytosis (cellular), fear memory formation in amygdala (cellar and network), cortico-basal ganglia system (network/systems), attention in human cognition (cognitive), and neural processing of motivated behaviors (behavioral). Additional projects are described in the program website. Faculty select candidates from the applicant pool, with the PI and his team approving the final selections based on best fit to the program. REU students are required to complete the responsible conduct of research (RCR) training online via the CITI site. The campus Office of Undergraduate Research offers a series of educational enrichment activities to enhance student skills. REU students are expected to attend an average of 3 hours/week of educational enrichment activities and class discussions, including RCR. More information about the program is available by visiting https://engineering.missouri.edu/academics/eecs/neuro/neuro-research/neuro-nsf-reu/or by contacting the PI (Dr. Satish S.Nair at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. David Schulz at [e-mail]).This award is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE program thru a partnership with the NSF REU program.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.

该REU网站奖授予密苏里州哥伦比亚大学的MU，将在2021 - 2023年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的小组，将接受该计划的培训。目的是招募来自非PHD授予机构的90％的学生。鼓励来自代表性不足的团体的学生申请。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人会在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。该程序的评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。该课程将在计划之后进行跟踪，以确定自己的职业道路。该REU网站将培训跨学科神经科学的大学生，重点是计算方法。该程序以一周的计算工具和技术写作开始。 Neuroscience faculty members from the Colleges of Arts & Science, Engineering, Vet Med, and Medicine train undergraduates in research, in projects that range across the neuroscience spectrum, e.g., neuronal homeostasis and compensation (intracellular), mechanisms of exocytosis (cellular), fear memory formation in amygdala (cellar and network), cortico-basal ganglia system （网络/系统），人类认知（认知）的关注以及动机行为的神经处理（行为）。计划网站中描述了其他项目。教师从申请人池中选择候选人，PI和他的团队根据最佳适合该计划批准了最终选择。 REU学生必须通过花旗网站在线完成负责任的研究（RCR）培训。本科研究校园办公室提供了一系列的教育丰富活动，以提高学生技能。预计REU学生将平均每周参加3个小时的教育丰富活动和课堂讨论，包括RCR。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问https://engineering.missouri.edu/academics/eecs/eecs/neuro/neuro/neuro-research/neuro-nsf-reu/nneuro-nsf-reu/or与PI联系（satish S.Nair博士（n n [e-mail]）或co-pi nairs nairs s.nair）或co-pi@schulz schulsiS schulsiiss schulsiiss at schulsiiss at schulsiiss at schulsiiss at schulsiiss。国防部通过与NSF REU计划建立合作伙伴关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来获得支持的。
