Summer Undergraduate Research Program Development

项目摘要

This award provides funds to the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences at Washington University to continue a successful REU Site. Each summer, about 36 undergraduates from diverse collegiate and ethnic backgrounds will spend 10 weeks engaged in developmental biology research at the University. Mentors will be selected by the students from about 40 faculty members who have active, well-funded research groups and who study developmental mechanisms in a wide range of experimental systems. The emphasis will be on getting each student actively engaged in increasingly independent research in one of these productive research groups. However, to permit students to view their own research in a broader context, the program will provide five types of supplemental activities: (i) workshops dealing with important model organisms, methods and paradigms in contemporary developmental biology research, (ii) faculty seminars designed specifically for the students, (iii) participation in the existing Developmental Biology Journal Club, (iv) a parallel journal club run by and for the students themselves and (v) an end-of-summer research retreat at which all students will present papers summarizing their research accomplishments. Opportunities for frequent peer-group social interactions will also be provided.

该奖项为华盛顿大学生物学和生物医学科学系提供资金，以继续建立一个成功的REU网站。每年夏天，来自不同大学和种族背景的大约36名本科生将在该大学花10周时间从事发育生物学研究。导师将由学生从大约40名教职员工中挑选出来，这些教职员工拥有活跃的、资金充足的研究小组，他们在各种实验系统中研究发展机制。重点将是让每个学生在这些富有成效的研究小组中积极参与越来越独立的研究。然而，为了允许学生在更广泛的背景下看待他们自己的研究，该计划将提供五种类型的补充活动：(I)关于当代发育生物学研究中重要的模式生物、方法和范例的工作坊，(Ii)专门为学生设计的教师研讨会，(Iii)参加现有的发育生物学期刊俱乐部；(Iv)由学生自己经营并为学生开办的平行期刊俱乐部；(V)所有学生将在夏季结束时提交论文总结其研究成果的研究务虚会。还将提供频繁的同龄人小组社交互动机会。
