This award provides funds to continue a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The program is designed to provide research opportunities for students from primarily undergraduate institutions. The Department will work in partnership with a select group of such schools, including three minority institutions and a women's college, to provide their students the kind of research experience only available at a major comprehensive research university. This REU program will also complement and partially supplement an internship program for MU students funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. This program follows the successful completion of a Summer 1990 prototype project, funded by the University and a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and 1991 and 1992 NSF-REU site grants. Faculty participant's research programs center on the theme "Cellular, Molecular and Genetic Approaches to Biological Problems," and utilize methodology ranging from recombinant DNA technology, to immunocytochemistry, to sophisticated electrophysiology. All participating faculty are personally involved in their research projects, are well-funded, and have a history of successful partnerships with undergraduate interns. The research experience is the cornerstone of the summer program. Multiple and varied opportunities will be provided for the students to develop their communication skills, and mentors will help students present their research at local and regional scientific meetings. Finally, a number of enrichment activities have been developed including seminars by research faculty, informal evening programs, and a panel discussion on graduate schools.

该奖项为密苏里-哥伦比亚大学生物科学系本科生研究经验项目的成功继续提供资金。该计划旨在为主要来自本科院校的学生提供研究机会。该司将与一些精选的这类学校合作，包括三所少数民族院校和一所女子学院，为其学生提供只有在主要的综合性研究型大学才能获得的研究经验。这个REU项目也将补充和部分补充由霍华德休斯医学研究所资助的MU学生实习项目。该计划是在1990年夏季原型项目成功完成之后进行的，该项目由大学资助，霍华德休斯医学研究所资助，1991年和1992年NSF-REU现场资助。教师参与者的研究项目以“细胞、分子和遗传方法解决生物学问题”为主题，并利用重组DNA技术、免疫细胞化学和复杂的电生理学等方法。所有参与的教师都亲自参与他们的研究项目，资金充足，并且有与本科生实习生成功合作的历史。研究经历是暑期项目的基石。将为学生提供多种多样的机会来发展他们的沟通技巧，导师将帮助学生在当地和区域科学会议上展示他们的研究。最后，还开展了一些丰富活动，包括由研究教员举办的研讨会、非正式的晚间节目和关于研究生院的小组讨论。
