This REU Site award to The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), located in Bar Harbor, ME, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during each summer in 2023-2025. 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. Undergraduates will conduct hypothesis-driven research in genetics and functional genomics with JAX research mentors who lead active and collaborative research programs. The program supports student development of highly sought-after computational and data analysis skills. 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. The NSF ETAP system will be used to register participants (https://www.nsfetap.org/). Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The REU Site curriculum includes: an online course and certificate program through JAX-developed Minicourses, in-person coding workshops, a formal journal club, professional development seminars, and workshops on the ethical, legal, and social issues in genetics research including Science Advocacy panels. The REU cohort will join the JAX Summer Student Program, a Living Learning Community for up 30 students per year with a well-established structure. Possible student projects are in the areas of computational strategies using genetic data to understand complex genetic systems, fundamental questions in genetics and evolution, how protein glycosylation influences cellular signaling, using modern computer vision tools to connect genetics to tissue structure and organ function, and the genetics of complex traits. Program applications are available through the website http://jax.org/ssp and are generally due the last Monday in January and are reviewed by a team of professional JAX scientists on the basis of the candidate’s research motivation as well as the candidate’s ability to work independently and yet collaboratively. Researchers inviting students into their labs for the summer make the final student selections. More information about the program is available by visiting http://jax.org/ssp , or by contacting the PI (Dr. Charles Wray, [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Laura Muller, [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.

这项授予位于我巴港（Bar Harbour）的杰克逊实验室（JAX）的REU网站奖将在2023 - 2025年的每个夏天为10周的10周培训。预计将在该计划中培训总共有30名学生，来自研究机会有限或代表性不足的学校的学校。本科生将与主导活跃和协作研究计划的JAX研究导师进行假设驱动的遗传学和功能基因组研究。该计划支持学生发展高度感知的计算和数据分析技能。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。 NSF ETAP系统将用于注册参与者（https://www.nsfetap.org/）。学生REU网站课程包括：通过JAX开发的微型库，在线编码研讨会，正式期刊俱乐部，专业发展仪式以及有关遗传学研究中的道德，法律和社会问题的讲习班，包括科学倡导者在内的伦理，法律和社会问题。 REU队列将加入JAX夏季学生计划，这是一个活着的学习社区，每年为30名学生提供一个完善的结构。可能的学生项目使用遗传数据在计算策略的领域中了解复杂的遗传系统，遗传学和进化中的基本问题，蛋白质糖基化如何使用现代计算机视觉工具影响细胞信号，将遗传学与组织结构和器官功能以及复杂性状的遗传学联系起来。可以通过网站http://jax.org/ssp获得程序申请，通常是由于一月份的最后一个星期一，并根据候选人的研究动机以及候选人独立和协作的能力，由专业JAX科学家团队进行审查。研究人员邀请学生参加夏季的实验室，成为最终的学生选择。可以通过访问http://jax.org/ssp或与PI（Charles Wray博士，[e-mail]）或Co-Pi联系（Laura Muller，[e-mail]），可以通过评估NSF的NSFORTAUNTION，可以通过NSF的法定宣传来获得有关该计划的更多信息。更广泛的影响审查标准。
