This REU Site award to Cornell University, located in Ithaca, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024- 2026. The program aims to provide cutting-edge summer research training experiences in the broadly defined area of cell signaling. It is anticipated that a total of 30 undergraduates, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Through intensive research and a series of organized activities, participants will be exposed to world-class research environments with the aim of broadening their understanding and appreciation of research. The program culminates with a final symposium where students present their summer research in both talks and posters. Many students will also present their summer research at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through an online tool. Students should apply to the REU site using NSF ETAP (Education and Training Application: https://etap.nsf.gov).This REU program is administered by the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Cornell University. The research focus is in the area of molecular signaling, a process that is fundamental to almost every cellular event. Students will delve into a particular area of molecular signaling through their individual research projects in their research mentors’ labs. Faculty and lab mentors will guide students’ research projects on a daily basis. Several workshops and weekly REU group meetings with the program directors provide students with a broad view of the signaling field, training on responsible conduct of research, opportunities to improve their science communication and leadership skills, and information about graduate school and careers in science. Additional peer mentor-organized social activities allow students to interact with other undergraduate and graduate students at Cornell, help to integrate REU students into the larger Cornell student community, and enjoy the beautiful scenery and waterfalls in Ithaca. A committee of faculty will select participants.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 授予位于纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学的该场地奖将支持 10 名学生在 2024 年至 2026 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。该计划旨在在广泛定义的领域提供尖端的夏季研究培训经验预计共有 30 名本科生（主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体）将通过深入研究和一系列有组织的活动接受培训。参与者将接触世界一流的研究环境，以扩大他们对研究的理解和欣赏。该计划的最后一场研讨会将在会上展示他们的夏季研究成果。许多学生还将在会上展示他们的夏季研究成果。该计划的评估将通过在线工具进行，学生应使用 NSF ETAP 向 REU 网站进行申请（教育和培训申请：https://etap.nsf.gov）。该 REU 计划由该部门管理。分子的康奈尔大学的生物学和遗传学研究重点是分子信号传导领域，这是几乎每个细胞事件的基础，学生将通过他们的个人研究项目深入研究分子信号传导的特定领域。研究导师实验室 教职员工和实验室导师将每天指导学生的研究项目，并与项目主任举行多次研讨会和每周 REU 小组会议，为学生提供信号领域的广阔视野、负责任的研究行为培训以及开展研究的机会。提高他们的科学沟通和领导技能，以及有关研究生院和大学的信息同伴导师组织的额外社交活动使学生能够与康奈尔大学的其他本科生和研究生互动，帮助 REU 学生融入更大的康奈尔学生社区，并欣赏伊萨卡的美丽风景和瀑布。将选择参与者。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。
