ABSTRACT Randall Morse Proposal # DBI - 9987844This proposal is a request for renewal of a summer REU program held at the Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health in Albany, NY. The research scientists who supervise the students in this program are also faculty in the Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMS) of the State University of New York at Albany's School of Public Health. The Wadsworth Center is a unique scientific institution with state-of-the-art facilities, in which basic research programs have developed alongside service-oriented public health laboratories. The research interests of the participating BMS faculty cover a broad range, with emphasis in molecular genetics, cell biology and structural biology. Ten undergraduate students interested in research careers are recruited from institutions with limited research opportunities for undergraduates, including small colleges in the Northeast and Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the South. Additional students participate in the program with stipend support from the Wadsworth Center. Laboratory projects in basic biological research topics are chosen that are likely to engage students' interest, yield results within the time-frame of the program, and allow for some degree of student development and independence. Weekly group meetings are used to discuss science- and career-related issues (including the proper conduct of science) and to monitor student progress. The students give short oral presentations of their work in a symposium in the last week of the program, and also submit written reports before they leave, to stress the importance of communication skills within science.

摘要Randall Morse提案＃DBI -9987844 THIS提案是在纽约州纽约州卫生部Wadsworth Center在纽约州奥尔巴尼市纽约州卫生部举行的夏季REU计划的请求。 监督该计划学生的研究科学家也是纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼公共卫生学院的生物医学科学系（BMS）的教师。 沃兹沃思中心（Wadsworth Center）是一个独特的科学机构，拥有最先进的设施，基础研究计划与以服务为导向的公共卫生实验室一起开发。 参与BMS教师的研究兴趣涵盖了广泛的范围，重点是分子遗传学，细胞生物学和结构生物学。 从本科生有限的机构招募了对研究职业感兴趣的十个本科生，其中包括东北部的小学院以及南方历史上有历史的黑人学院。 沃兹沃思中心的津贴支持参加了该计划。 选择了基本生物学研究主题中的实验室项目，这些项目可能会吸引学生的兴趣，在计划的时间范围内产生结果，并允许一定程度的学生发展和独立性。 每周的小组会议用于讨论与科学和职业相关的问题（包括适当的科学行为）并监视学生的进步。 学生在计划的最后一周在研讨会上简短地口头介绍他们的工作，并在离开之前提交书面报告，以强调科学中沟通技巧的重要性。
