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.

该奖项将支持生物学本科生参加埃默里大学提供的本科生研究经验项目。从之前广泛的本科培训经验来看，埃默里大学的教师们已经确信，有意义的研究经历是鼓励本科生进入生物科学研究事业的最佳途径。该项目的招生工作将继续主要集中在地区本科院校的学生、女性和少数民族学生身上。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学问题，但他们对用实验方法解决生物学问题有着共同的兴趣。该计划的目标是：(1)提供一个分支学科的深入研究经验；(2)对科学过程进行正式和非正式的介绍；(3)通过在不同层次上研究生物研究的替代方法，提供视角；(4)最大化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)“作为一名科学家”系列研讨会，旨在评估解决生物学问题的不同方法；（四）研究领域的部门研讨会和期刊俱乐部；(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。
