This award will support the participation of 11 undergraduate students each year in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. Each student participant will spend ten weeks engaged in developmental biology research under the direction a faculty mentor of his/her choice, selected from among ca. 40 faculty members who have active, well-funded research programs and who study developmental mechanisms in a wide variety of experimental systems. To permit students to view their research projects in a broader context, five types of supplemental activities will be provided: (i) a beginning-of-the-summer retreat at a state park, where participants will meet with each other, explore the issue of research ethics, and become introduced to the study of developmental biology; (ii) workshops dealing with important model organisms, methods, and paradigms in contemporary developmental biology research; (iii) faculty seminars designed specifically for the students; (iv) participation in a student developmental biology journal club; and (v) and end-of-the-summer research symposium at which students will make presentations summarizing their research accomplishments. Opportunities for frequent, informal social interactions will also be provided. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in the developmental biology.

该奖项每年将支持11名本科生参加密苏里州圣路易斯华盛顿大学医学院提供的本科生研究经验项目。每个学生参与者将在他/她选择的教师导师的指导下进行10周的发育生物学研究，这些导师从大约40名活跃的，资金充足的研究项目，他们在各种各样的实验系统中研究发育机制。为了让学生在更广阔的背景下看待他们的研究项目，将提供五种类型的补充活动：(i)在州立公园举行的初夏静修活动，参与者将在那里见面，探讨研究伦理问题，并介绍发育生物学的研究；（ii）关于当代发育生物学研究中重要模式生物、方法和范例的讲习班；（三）专门为学生设计的教师研讨会；（iv）参加学生发育生物学杂志社；（五）在夏季结束时举行研究研讨会，学生将在研讨会上发表报告，总结他们的研究成果。还将提供经常进行非正式社会交往的机会。该奖项将促进个人的继续教育和培训，他们将成为下一代发育生物学基础研究人员的一部分。
