Research Experiences in Biology for Undergraduates

该奖项为亚利桑那大学生物化学系本科生研究经验项目提供资金，项目将继续进行三年。美国国家科学基金会基金将为9名学生提供津贴，亚利桑那大学将为另外10名学生提供津贴。学生将申请REU项目，一旦被教师/学生委员会选中，他们将面试110名参与的教师赞助商中的几位，然后决定他们希望与谁一起工作。这种匹配过程确保学生将致力于他们感兴趣的问题，并培养富有成效的工作关系。然后学生们作为一个研究小组的一部分来研究他们的研究问题。除了学生的研究，实验室会议和研讨会，该计划还提供了一个方向，包括辐射和实验室安全培训，以及每周一次的棕色袋子午餐，学生和教师讨论生物学和生物学研究中的问题和职业。每年举办一次本科生物学研究会议和由世界知名生物学家参加的本科生物学系列研讨会。这个项目的共同点是，学生们都对生物学中的一些问题进行独立研究。

This award provides funds to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Arizona for another three years. NSF funds will provide stipends for nine students with the University of Arizona providing stipends for an additional ten students. Students will apply to the REU program and once selected by a faculty/student committee, they interview several of the 110 participating faculty sponsors before deciding with whom they wish to work. This matching process insures that students will be working on a problem that is of interest to them and fosters a productive working relationship. Students then pursue their research problems as part of a research group. In addition to students' research, lab meetings and seminars, the program offers an orientation that includes radiation and laboratory safety training and a weekly brown bag lunch where students and faculty discuss issues and careers in biology and biological research. There is an annual Undergraduate Biology Research Conference and an Undergraduate Biology Colloquium Series featuring world renowned biologists. The common thread that unites the program is that students are all involved in independent research on some problem in biology.
