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.

该计划在2024年至2026年的夏季，该计划旨在在纽约州伊萨卡市的康奈尔大学（Cornell University）授予10周的培训10周。该计划旨在在细胞信号传导广泛定义的领域提供尖端的夏季研究培训经验。预计将在该计划中培训总共30名本科生，来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的小组。通过密集的研究和一系列有组织的活动，参与者将接触到世界一流的研究环境，以扩大他们对研究的理解和欣赏。该计划最终以最后的研讨会为顶点，学生们在谈判和海报中展示了他们的夏季研究。许多学生还将在科学会议上介绍他们的夏季研究。该程序的评估将通过在线工具进行。学生应使用NSF ETAP（教育和培训申请：https：//etap.nsf.gov）申请REU网站。该REU计划由康奈尔大学分子生物学和遗传学部门管理。研究重点是分子信号传导领域，这是几乎每个细胞事件基础的过程。学生将通过其研究导师实验室的各个研究项目深入研究分子信号的特定领域。教师和实验室导师将每天指导学生的研究项目。几次讲习班和每周与计划主管的REU小组会议为学生提供了有关信号领域的广泛视野，负责任的研究培训，改善科学沟通和领导能力的机会以及有关研究生院和科学职业的信息。其他同行导师组织的社交活动使学生可以与康奈尔大学的其他本科生和研究生互动，帮助将REU学生融入较大的康奈尔大学学生社区，并享受伊萨卡的美丽风景和瀑布。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评论标准，这将被视为珍贵的支持。
