The NSF-REU program at the Roswell Park site presents upper-division science majors pre-graduate-school summer experiences. Participants are selected from applicants across the United States with an emphasis on the admission of underrepresented minority candidates and women. Selected graduate faculty members of the Roswell Park Division of the State University of New York at Buffalo serve as major advisors for the fifteen students admitted to the program. The scientific field that NSF REU participants enter is in the general area of molecular and cellular biology. Student efforts will be full-time in scope and offer a pre-graduate research experience in the lifestyle of a graduate student in the basic sciences. This is a key factor in a student's decision-making process before choosing a field of study and formally applying to graduate programs. The culmination of a 10-week laboratory experience is the student oral presentations in a Mini-Science Conference and poster session. Other experiences scheduled during the summer include attendance at the NSF distinguished seminar series, a career counseling sessions, and weekend cultural and social activities. Evaluation data demonstrate that such programs are highly effective in encouraging students to pursue scientific careers.

在罗斯威尔公园网站的NSF-REU计划提出了高年级科学专业的研究生院前的暑期经验。 参加者是从美国各地的申请人中挑选出来的，重点是录取代表性不足的少数族裔候选人和妇女。 位于布法罗的纽约州立大学罗斯韦尔公园分部的精选研究生教师担任该项目录取的15名学生的主要顾问。 NSF REU参与者进入的科学领域是分子和细胞生物学的一般领域。 学生的努力将是全职的范围，并提供研究生在基础科学的生活方式的研究生前的研究经验。 这是学生在选择研究领域和正式申请研究生课程之前决策过程中的一个关键因素。 为期10周的实验室体验的高潮是学生在迷你科学会议和海报会议上的口头陈述。 在夏季安排的其他经验包括出席NSF杰出研讨会系列，职业咨询会议，周末文化和社会活动。 评估数据表明，这些方案在鼓励学生从事科学事业方面非常有效。
