This REU Site award to The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology, located in Jupiter, FL, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024-2026. 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. Through hands-on experience in one of the institute’s world-class laboratories, students will learn how laboratory research is conducted. In addition, professional development and research seminars develop writing, presentation, and other skills and provide information about graduate school. The program is geared to prepare students for successful graduate careers in science, strengthening the pipeline of young scientists. Besides the final poster presentation, many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Program assessment will be done through an online tool, and participants will be tracked to determine their career paths.Reflecting the research strengths of UF Scripps, the program provides research opportunities at the interface between chemistry and biology. Participants will be able to conduct research in any of our five departments: Chemistry, Immunology, Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, Molecular Medicine, and Neuroscience. Research projects are interdisciplinary, reflecting the collaborative nature of modern science. In addition to hands-on experience on the bench, students will participate in professional development and research seminars, including ethics/responsible conduct of research training and social events. Students must apply through the NSF-ETAP system. After an initial selection by the program faculty, they will be interviewed by the PI.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.

REU 站点授予位于佛罗里达州朱庇特的 Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps 生物医学创新与技术研究所，将在 2024-2026 年夏季支持 10 名学生为期 10 周的培训，预计总共 30 名学生。主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体的学生将通过在该研究所的世界一流实验室之一的实践经验进行培训。此外，专业发展和研究研讨会培养写作、演讲和其他技能，并提供有关研究生院的信息，旨在为学生在科学领域的成功职业生涯做好准备，加强年轻人的培养。除了最终的海报展示外，许多科学家还将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。项目评估将通过在线工具进行，并对参与者进行跟踪以确定他们的职业道路。这反映了佛罗里达大学斯克里普斯分校的研究优势。该计划提供化学与化学之间接口的研究机会参与者将能够在我们的五个部门中的任何一个部门进行研究：化学、免疫学、综合结构和计算生物学、分子医学和神经科学。研究项目是跨学科的，反映了现代科学的协作性质。 - 根据实习经验，学生将参加专业发展和研究研讨会，包括道德/负责任的研究培训和社交活动。学生必须经过该项目的初步筛选后通过 NSF-ETAP 系统进行申请。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
