This REU Site award to Binghamton University, located in Binghamton, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2025-2027. The focus of this REU is to provide a collaborative research experience in the area of microbial biofilms. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained during the 3-year program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The broad objective of this program is to provide high-quality, well-mentored research opportunities to students early in their college careers so that they have sufficient time to pursue their projects, build scientific and professional skills, and prepare to be competitive in STEM careers. Assessment of the program will be done through an online tool, and students will be tracked after the program to determine their career paths.Student projects will be organized around three main areas: environmental biofilms in the built and natural environment, biofilms and engineered systems, and basic microbiological mechanisms for biofilm control. Faculty from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will serve as faculty mentors. Students will participate in a collaborative and multi-mentored research project in one of these main areas. Additionally, students will participate in professional development and scientific communication workshops, lab safety, responsible and ethical conduct of research, and microbiology training. Students will present their research at an end of summer poster session with other REU and undergraduate summer research programs on campus. Housing, stipend, meals, and travel allowances will be provided. Students will apply using the NSF ETAP website and they will be selected via a holistic review process.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.

这项授予位于纽约州宾厄姆顿的宾厄姆顿大学的REU网站奖将在2025年至2027年的夏季为10周的10周培训。 REU的重点是在微生物生物膜领域提供协作研究经验。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在3年计划期间接受培训。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。该计划的广泛目标是在大学职业生涯的早期为学生提供高质量的，受过良好的研究机会，以便他们有足够的时间从事项目，建立科学和专业技能，并准备在STEM职业中竞争。该计划的评估将通过在线工具进行，并且将在计划确定职业道路之后进行跟踪。研究项目将在三个主要领域进行组织：建筑和自然环境中的环境生物膜，生物膜和工程系统，以及生物膜控制的基本微生物机制。生物科学，化学，生物医学工程和机械工程系的教师将担任教师导师。学生将参加这些主要领域之一的协作和多幕配研究项目。此外，学生将参加专业发展和科学沟通研讨会，实验室安全，负责任和道德研究以及微生物学培训。学生将在夏季海报会议结束时与其他REU和校园内的夏季研究计划进行研究。将提供住房，津贴，用餐和旅行津贴。学生将使用NSF ETAP网站申请，并将通过整体审查过程进行选择。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评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
