This award provides support to continue a 10-week summer research experience for nine undergraduates from Carleton College and other regional colleges and universities. Pre-participation reading requirements will provide students with an adequate foundation for meaningful scientific investigation. During the summer, students will work in a one-to-one relationship with a research supervisor in the laboratory. Weekly seminars will provide students with the opportunity to discuss research plans and results as well as to delve into primary scientific articles. To further focus and unify the student participants, a theme of development regulation has been selected. Projects will include investigations of: the mechanisms of action and the chemical characteristics of apossibly-steroid pheromone produced by Oedogonium, regulation of floral development in pea, structure- function relationships in the repressor protein of bacteriophage P1, structure and function of the glucocorticoid receptor in rat liver, development of synaptic connections in Xenopus, variation of sex expression in composites, role of song communication in coordination of parental care in cardinals, and effect of gregarine parasites on population biology of capitellid polychaetes. Students will present their results during a fall poster symposium. Opportunities to complete research and writing during winter break will be available.

该奖项为卡尔顿学院和其他地区学院和大学的9名本科生提供为期10周的暑期研究经验。参与前的阅读要求将为学生提供有意义的科学调查的充分基础。在夏季，学生将在实验室与研究主管一对一的关系中工作。每周的研讨会将为学生提供讨论研究计划和结果以及深入研究初级科学文章的机会。为了进一步集中和统一学生参与者，我们选择了一个发展规则的主题。项目将包括调查：葡萄属植物产生的可能甾类信息素的作用机制和化学特性，豌豆花发育的调控，噬菌体P1抑制蛋白的结构与功能关系，大鼠肝脏糖皮质激素受体的结构与功能，非洲爪蟾突触连接的发育，复合材料性别表达的变化，鸣声交流在雀属亲代抚育协调中的作用及寄生蜂对雀属多毛纲种群生物学的影响。学生们将在秋季海报研讨会上展示他们的成果。有机会在寒假期间完成研究和写作。
