This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award to Indiana University in Bloomington, IN will support the training of 30 students over 3 summers (2025-2027) in animal behavior research. The $489,895 award will fund a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on the theme of "Animal Behavior in Context," exploring how animals make social and non-social decisions based on external events, internal state, and past experiences. Students will conduct novel research projects in host labs and participate in professional development activities to prepare them for future STEM careers in research, biomedicine, and industry. The REU program will be hosted by the university's Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, leveraging expertise across disciplines including biology, psychology, anthropology, and cognitive science. The program aims to engage students, primarily from institutions with limited research opportunities, in groundbreaking research on the mechanisms of behavioral decision-making using a range of animal models and interdisciplinary approaches.
