This REU Site award to North Carolina State University (NCSU), located in Raleigh, NC, will support the training of 10 students per year for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022- 2024. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from groups underrepresented in the biological sciences, as well as from schools with limited undergraduate research opportunities will be trained in the program. A hands-on research experience is a critical component of college STEM education. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done using the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The intellectual focus of the program is on understanding productive plant-microbe interactions to ultimately benefit plant performance and positively impact food security. NCSU has a strong core of plant and microbial biologists, working in the areas of sustainable foods, fuels, and computer modeling of fundamental biological mechanisms. The faculty mentors participating in this REU program share overlapping and complementary interests and expertise and there is strong synergy between lab-based and computational approaches. Students will be able to choose from four major research themes including stress resilience, nutrient acquisition in plant and microbial systems, signaling in plant-microbe systems, and plant-microbiome modeling. During the 10 week period, students will engage in full-time lab research. Additionally, students will attend scientific seminars and workshops on professional development, responsible conduct of research, career opportunities in academia and industry, the graduate school application process and a field trip to a local biotechnology company. Students will present their findings at a symposium held during the final week of the program. Housing, a stipend, meal and travel allowances will be provided. Students from underrepresented minority groups and from colleges with limited research opportunities are encouraged to apply. Selection will be based on research interests, academic record and recommendation letters. More information about the program is available by visiting https://cals.ncsu.edu/plant-and-microbial-biology/students/integrative-molecular-plant-systems-research-experience/ , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Imara Perera at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Amy Grunden 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.

北卡罗来纳州罗利市北卡罗来纳州立大学（NCSU）的REU网站奖将在2022年至2024年的夏季中每年培训10个学生，共10周。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自生物学科学领域的人数不足的小组，来自生物学科学的人数不足，以及培训的机会有限，在培训中训练有素。动手研究经验是大学STEM教育的关键组成部分。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的作品。 该程序的评估将使用在线Salg Urssa工具进行。 该计划将在计划之后进行跟踪，以确定自己的职业道路。该计划的智力重点是了解生产性植物 - 微生物相互作用，以最终使植物绩效受益并积极影响粮食安全。 NCSU拥有植物和微生物生物学家的强大核心，在基本生物学机制的可持续食品，燃料和计算机建模领域工作。参加此REU计划的教师指导者共享重叠和互补的兴趣和专业知识，基于实验室和计算方法之间有着强烈的协同作用。学生将能够从四个主要的研究主题中进行选择，包括压力弹性，植物和微生物系统中的营养获取，植物 - 微生物系统中的信号和植物 - 微生物组建模。 在10周期间，学生将进行全日制实验室研究。此外，学生将参加有关专业发展，负责任的研究，学术界和工业的职业机会，研究生院申请过程以及去当地生物技术公司的实地考察的科学研讨会。 学生将在节目的最后一周举行的研讨会上介绍他们的发现。将提供住房，津贴，用餐和旅行津贴。鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体和研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。选择将基于研究兴趣，学术记录和推荐信。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问https://cals.ncsu.edu/plant-and-microbial-biology/students/students/integrative-molecular-plant-plant-systems-syearch-experience/，或与PI联系（Imara Perera博士（imara perera in ipera perera at [e-mail]）或co-pi-amy@ncuun）（ [e-mail]）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估值得支持。
