REU Site in Microbiology at The University of Iowa

该奖项为在爱荷华大学微生物系建立REU站点提供资金。重点将放在女性、少数族裔和非博士学生的招聘和选择上。-资助研究机会有限或根本不存在的机构。被选中的九名学生将被纳入参与的教师研究团队，并将以与刚开始的研究生相似的方式进行研究。在实验室的实践经验将辅以非正式的讨论和每周的研讨会。野餐，学生展示实验结果的会议和会议结束时的宴会也将提供社会和科学互动的机会。希望通过这个REU项目，激发学生追求科学事业。

This award provides funds to establish an REU Site in the Department of Microbiology of the University of Iowa. Emphasis will be placed on recruitment and selection of women, minorities and students from non-Ph.D. - granting institutions where opportunities for research are limited or nonexistent. The nine students selected will be integrated into participating faculty research teams and will be expected to perform in a manner similar to beginning graduate students. The hands-on experience in the laboratory will be supplemented by informal discussions and weekly seminars. A picnic, a conference for student presentation of experimental results and a banquet at the end of the session will also provide opportunity for social and scientific interaction. It is hoped that students will be stimulated to pursue careers in science through this REU program.
