Abstract OPP-9501808 This program would provide an organized opportunity for undergraduates in a relatively isolated geographical area to gain research experience in environmental chemistry and biochemistry. We have proposed a diversified approach centering around environmental and biotechnical applications of chemistry and biology in which students work with committed faculty. This research focus, spotlighting chemical and biochemical components of environmental and ecological studies specific to high latitudes, is appropriate for undergraduates. Core disciplines in chemistry and biochemistry are well represented with projects. Research projects include environmental chemistry, molecular evolution, bioinorganic chemistry, molecular biology of marine organisms, and atmospheric chemistry. The program will recruit undergraduate students who are majoring in chemical or biological science, and encourages women and minorities such as native Alaskans who are attending the University of Alaska to apply. We wish to continue our cross- cultural approach in which Alaskan students exchange scientific and social perspectives with students from the lower 48. A summer seminar series by both local faculty and visitors is included in our program to increase the exposure of the students to a wide range of chemistry and biochemistry. Ethics and honor in science discussions are also held weekly and outside speakers will be invited. Evening workshops on graduate school admission and selection, as well as discussions of career opportunities will be held. We also will develop an improved follow-through and tracking of students to monitor what careers the students pursued.

公司简介-9501808 该计划将为相对孤立的地理区域的本科生提供一个有组织的机会，以获得环境化学和生物化学的研究经验。 我们提出了一种多元化的方法，围绕化学和生物学的环境和生物技术应用，学生与忠诚的教师合作。 这个研究重点，突出化学和生物化学成分的环境和生态研究具体到高纬度地区，是适合本科生。 化学和生物化学的核心学科在项目中得到了很好的体现。 研究项目包括环境化学、分子进化、生物无机化学、海洋生物分子生物学和大气化学。 该计划将招收化学或生物科学专业的本科生，并鼓励妇女和少数民族，如阿拉斯加土著人，申请阿拉斯加大学。 我们希望继续我们的跨文化的方法，其中阿拉斯加的学生交流科学和社会的观点与学生从低48。 由当地教师和游客的夏季研讨会系列包括在我们的计划，以增加学生接触到广泛的化学和生物化学。 科学讨论中的道德和荣誉也每周举行一次，并邀请外部发言人。 晚上将举行关于研究生院录取和选择的讲习班，以及关于就业机会的讨论。 我们还将制定一个改进的后续通过和学生的跟踪，以监测什么职业的学生追求。
