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 兰德尔·莫尔斯 提案# DBI -9987844该提案是关于在纽约州奥尔巴尼的纽约州卫生部沃兹沃斯中心举办的夏季REU项目延期的请求。 指导学生参加该项目的研究科学家也是奥尔巴尼公共卫生学院纽约州立大学生物医学科学系（BMS）的教师。 沃兹沃斯中心是一个独特的科学机构，拥有最先进的设施，其中基础研究项目与面向服务的公共卫生实验室一起发展。 参与BMS教师的研究兴趣涵盖广泛，重点是分子遗传学，细胞生物学和结构生物学。 10名对研究职业感兴趣的本科生是从本科生研究机会有限的机构招募的，包括东北部的小型学院和南部的历史黑人学院和大学。 其他学生参加该计划的津贴支持从沃兹沃斯中心。 在基础生物学研究课题的实验室项目选择，可能会吸引学生的兴趣，在程序的时间范围内产生的结果，并允许一定程度的学生发展和独立性。 每周小组会议用于讨论科学和职业相关的问题（包括科学的正确行为），并监测学生的进步。 学生们在课程的最后一周的研讨会上对他们的工作进行简短的口头介绍，并在离开之前提交书面报告，以强调沟通技巧在科学中的重要性。
