Abstract - John David - Proposal # DBI - 9988022Our NSF-REU Site Program will provide summer research opportunities for undergraduates from three primarily undergraduate regional colleges and five Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We will work in collaboration with this select group of schools to provide their students the kind of research experience only available at a major comprehensive research university. This NSF-REU program will complement undergraduate internship programs for University of Missouri (MU) students funded by the University.The research programs of the MU faculty mentors will center on the theme "Cellular, Molecular, and Genetic Approaches to Biological Problems." These programs use methodology ranging from recombinant DNA technology to molecular cytology to sophisticated population genetics. All NSF-REU faculty mentors will be personally involved in their research projects and have a history of highly successful partnerships with undergraduate intems.Faculty liaisons at our eight partner schools (Florida A&M University, Grinnell College, Jackson State University, Prairie View A&M University, Southwest Missouri State University, Truman State University, University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and Xavier University-Louisiana) will be responsible for the selection of the intems. They will assist in the preparation of the intems before the summer research experience at MU and the continuation of the training of the intems when they return to their home campus.The research experience is the heart of our summer program. We will also help intems develop critical communications skills through brown-bag lunches, lab group meetings, and an end-ofprogram Summer Undergraduate Research Science Symposium. We will provide financial support for intems to also present their research at regional and national meetings in their discipline. Finally, we have developed a number of enrichment activities including panel discussions on preparation for graduate school and career options and a science ethics workshop.

摘要- John大卫-提案编号 DBI -9988022我们的NSF-REU网站计划将为三个主要本科区域学院和五个历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的本科生提供夏季研究机会。 我们将与这些学校合作，为他们的学生提供只有在主要的综合性研究型大学才能获得的研究经验。 这个NSF-REU计划将补充大学资助的密苏里州（MU）学生的本科实习计划。MU教师导师的研究计划将围绕“生物问题的细胞，分子和遗传方法”这一主题。“这些项目使用的方法从重组DNA技术到分子细胞学再到复杂的群体遗传学。 所有NSF-REU的教师导师将亲自参与他们的研究项目，并与本科生项目有着非常成功的合作关系。我们八所合作学校（佛罗里达农工大学，格林内尔学院，杰克逊州立大学，草原景观农工大学，西南密苏里州州立大学，杜鲁门州立大学，阿肯色大学-派恩布拉夫海崖和泽维尔大学-路易斯安那）的教师联络员将负责选择项目。 他们将协助在MU的夏季研究经验之前的intems的准备和intems的培训，当他们回到自己的家乡校园的延续。研究经验是我们的夏季计划的心脏。 我们还将帮助intems通过棕色袋午餐，实验室小组会议，并结束ofprogram夏季本科研究科学研讨会发展关键的沟通技巧。 我们将提供财政支持，使国际项目也能在其学科的区域和国家会议上展示其研究成果。 最后，我们已经制定了一些丰富的活动，包括小组讨论准备研究生院和职业选择和科学伦理研讨会。
