This award will support the participation of undergraduate biology students in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program offered by Emory University. From extensive prior experiences with undergraduate training, the faculty at Emory have become convinced that meaningful research experiences are the optimal way to encourage undergraduate students to enter research careers in the biological sciences. Recruitment efforts for this program will continue to focus primarily on students from regional undergraduate institutions, women and minority students. Although research interests of the Emory faculty cross a number of specialties and use different approaches to biological problems, they share a common interest in experimental approaches to biological questions. The goals of the program are : (1) to provide an intensive research experience in one subdiscipline; (2) to provide formal and informal introductions to the processes of science; (3) to provide perspective by examining alternative approaches to biological research at different hierarchical levels; and (4) to maximize participant interaction with other undergraduate and graduate researchers, the research mentor, and his/her research group. The program will include the following components: (1) independent student research projects; (2) research methods workshops; (3) "On Being a Scientist," a seminar series designed to assess different approaches to biological questions; (4) departmental seminars and journal clubs in research areas; and (5) a series of discussions on scientific integrity. This award will foster the continued education and training of individuals who will be part of the next generation of basic researchers in biology.

该奖项将支持本科生物学学生参与埃默里大学提供的本科生研究经验计划。 从丰富的本科生培训经验，在埃默里大学的教师已经成为有意义的研究经验的最佳方式，鼓励本科生进入生物科学的研究生涯确信。 该计划的招聘工作将继续主要集中在区域本科院校的学生，妇女和少数民族学生。 虽然埃默里大学教师的研究兴趣跨越了许多专业，并使用不同的方法来解决生物问题，但他们在生物问题的实验方法方面有着共同的兴趣。 该计划的目标是：（1）在一个子学科提供密集的研究经验;（2）提供正式和非正式的介绍科学的过程;（3）通过检查不同层次的生物学研究的替代方法提供观点;以及（4）最大限度地提高参与者与其他本科生和研究生研究人员、研究导师及其研究小组的互动。 该计划将包括以下组成部分：（1）独立的学生研究项目;（2）研究方法研讨会;（3）“作为一个科学家，”一系列研讨会，旨在评估生物学问题的不同方法;（4）部门研讨会和研究领域的期刊俱乐部;（5）关于科学诚信的一系列讨论。 该奖项将促进个人的继续教育和培训，他们将成为下一代生物学基础研究人员的一部分。
