This REU Site award to Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, IN, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from under-represented groups, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how to conduct research and generate hypotheses, and will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Through diverse research projects the program will increase the participation of students in STEM disciplines and prepare them for careers in plant biology in the era of data science. 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.The Purdue Undergraduate Research Experiences for Plant Biology and Data Science (PURE-PD) program aims to provide student participants with advanced training in basic plant biology and data science. The PURE-PD program was developed as an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Center for Plant Biology, Purdue Libraries and the School of Information Studies. Research projects in the PURE-PD program are diverse and include the regulation of nutrition signals, plant health monitoring, plant host-pathogen interactions, and the regulation of developmental processes, which collectively offer a significant and agriculturally relevant research environment for student participants. In addition, each student will be involved in professional development activities including research ethics, research data management and scholarly communication. Applicants will submit their materials via the program website and need to include digital transcripts, a statement of purpose describing career goals and research interests, and two recommendation letters. Candidates will be selected based on their excellence in academic performance and strong interests in science by a committee consisting of three faculty mentors. A holistic project evaluation will be conducted at the end of each summer session for the iterative improvement of the program. More information about the program is available by visiting https://ag.purdue.edu/cpb/intern/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Chao Cai at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Natalia Dudareva 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.

这项授予位于印第安纳州西拉斐特的普渡大学的REU网站奖将在2022 - 2024年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。预计将在该计划中培训总共30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限或代表性不足的群体的学校。学生将学习如何进行研究并产生假设，并将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。通过多样化的研究项目，该计划将增加学生在STEM学科中的参与，并在数据科学时代为植物生物学的职业做好准备。该程序的评估将通过在线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。植物生物学和数据科学（PURE-PD）计划的普渡大学本科研究经验旨在为学生参与者提供基本植物生物学和数据科学的高级培训。纯PD计划是作为植物生物学，普渡图书馆和信息研究学院之间的跨学科合作开发的。纯PD计划中的研究项目多种多样，包括对营养信号的调节，植物健康监测，植物宿主 - 病原体的相互作用以及对发展过程的调节，这些过程共同为学生参与者提供了重要且与农业相关的研究环境。此外，每个学生都将参与包括研究伦理，研究数据管理和学术沟通在内的专业发展活动。申请人将通过计划网站提交材料，并需要包括数字成绩单，描述职业目标和研究兴趣的目的声明以及两个推荐信。由三名教师导师组成的委员会将根据他们在学业表现方面的卓越和对科学的强烈利益而选择候选人。每个夏季会议结束时，将进行整体项目评估，以进行该计划的迭代改进。可以通过访问https://ag.purdue/cpb/intern/获得有关该计划的更多信息使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
