ABSTRACT Stephen Dewhurst DBI# 9986712 This three year REU Site Program is designed to organize the resources, environment and experience of a major research University so as to provide enhanced research opportunities in Cellular and Molecular Biology to promising juniors and sophomores. The Program builds upon major strengths in the University of Rochester' s programs in the Biological Sciences and it is intended not only to provide outstanding research experiences, but also to encourage participating undergraduates to pursue career paths in the biological sciences. The Program seeks to acheive a goal of 50% participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Students will be recruited from four-year colleges, including women's colleges and historically black colleges, with which the University of Rochester has working relationships. University of Rochester undergraduates who conduct academic year research will also be strongly encouraged to apply to the program, and these students will be supported, with Program sponsorship, in preparing their results for presentation at national scientific meetings during the academic year. The central research experience will take place during a 10-week, full-time work period each summer. At this time, each REU student will pursue an independent research'project under the supervision of a specific faculty advisor, and with the "hands-on" guidance of a specific graduate student or postdoctoral mentor. AR of the students will participate in REU seminars, which will include topics in scientific ethics, biological safety and chemical hygiene as well as research presentations by University faculty and graduate students, and discussions of careers and graduate work. Students will report in writing at the conclusion of the summer program, and they will also present the results of their work at a mini-symposium. Each student will be strongly encouraged to continue part-time research work during the academic year, with the aim of completing a scientific publication. Students will also be strongly encouraged to present the results of their research at a national research meeting, such as the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.

摘要 斯蒂芬·杜赫斯特 DBI编号9986712 这个为期三年的REU网站计划旨在组织一个主要的研究型大学的资源，环境和经验，以提供增强的细胞和分子生物学研究机会，有前途的大三学生和预科生。 该计划建立在罗切斯特大学生物科学课程的主要优势之上，不仅旨在提供出色的研究经验，还旨在鼓励参与的本科生追求生物科学的职业道路。 该方案力求实现妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与率达到50%的目标。 学生将从四年制大学招募，包括女子大学和历史上的黑人大学，罗切斯特大学与这些大学有工作关系。罗切斯特大学的本科生谁进行学年研究也将被强烈鼓励申请该计划，这些学生将得到支持，与计划赞助，在准备他们的结果在学年期间的国家科学会议上演示。中央研究经验将在每年夏天为期10周的全职工作期间进行。 在这个时候，每个REU学生将追求一个独立的研究“项目的监督下，一个特定的教师顾问，并与一个特定的研究生或博士后导师的“动手”指导。 学生的AR将参加REU研讨会，其中将包括科学伦理，生物安全和化学卫生以及大学教师和研究生的研究报告，以及职业和研究生工作的讨论主题。 学生将在暑期课程结束时以书面形式报告，他们还将在一个小型研讨会上介绍他们的工作成果。我们强烈鼓励每个学生在学年期间继续兼职研究工作，目的是完成科学出版物。 还将强烈鼓励学生在全国研究会议上展示他们的研究成果，如全国本科生研究会议。
