DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP) at the University of Wisconsin (UW) has an impressive record in providing authentic summer research experiences to undergraduates, most of whom are from groups underrepresented in the biological sciences research community. This application seeks support to expand this program by increasing the number of IBS-SRP students in UW neuroscience laboratories. The seven students supported by this grant will spend their summer in an outstanding neuroscience laboratory and conduct research under the supervision of scientists with experience in and commitment to the mentoring of undergraduates in research. The students will enter a highly structured program with weekly meetings and with many enrichment activities designed to help them connect their research with major concepts in the biological sciences. Additional enrichment activities provide students with guidance in preparing for graduate school and for developing the skills they will need as neuroscience researchers. This program will increase the diversity of neuroscience researchers and help students from diverse backgrounds in their preparation for careers in neuroscience.

描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星大学 (UW) 的综合生物科学暑期研究计划 (IBS-SRP) 在为本科生提供真实的暑期研究体验方面有着令人印象深刻的记录，其中大多数来自生物科学领域代表性不足的群体。科学研究界。该申请寻求支持，通过增加华盛顿大学神经科学实验室 IBS-SRP 学生的数量来扩大该项目。获得这笔资助的七名学生将在一个杰出的神经科学实验室度过暑假，并在具有丰富研究经验并致力于指导本科生研究的科学家的监督下进行研究。学生将进入一个高度结构化的项目，每周举行一次会议，并进行许多丰富的活动，旨在帮助他们将他们的研究与生物科学的主要概念联系起来。其他丰富活动为学生提供指导，帮助他们为研究生院做准备，并培养他们作为神经科学研究人员所需的技能。该计划将增加神经科学研究人员的多样性，并帮助来自不同背景的学生为神经科学职业做好准备。
