REU Undergraduate Summer Research Experience

项目摘要

The Plant Biology Graduate Program at the University of Massachusetts will recruit ten qualified undergraduates to participate in a summer research program. The objectives are to i) interest talented undergraduates in plant biology research and teaching, ii) increase the diversity of researchers and teachers in plant biology and iii) strengthen the regional infrastructure for plant science and education in New England. Qualified undergraduates who have finished their junior year will be recruited nationally. Emphasis will be placed upon recruiting students from small New England/New York Area colleges that have limited research opportunities for undergraduates, and recruiting minority students that are underrepresented in the life sciences. The emphasis of this program is to provide undergraduates with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the day to day activities of a research laboratory. The program will be eight weeks in duration and will emphasize independent research under the supervision of a plant biology faculty mentor. Additionally, weekly activities are planned to foster a sense of community among the REU participants and to proivide useful experience in a variety of important skills used in a scientific research or teaching career.These include a field trip to a local habitat, workshops to develop presentation skills, a career option workshop featuring former REU participants and a poster session at the end of the program.

马萨诸塞州大学的植物生物学研究生项目将招募10名合格的本科生参加一个夏季研究项目。其目标是i）有才华的本科生在植物生物学研究和教学的兴趣，ii）增加研究人员和教师在植物生物学的多样性和iii）加强区域基础设施植物科学和教育在新英格兰。完成大三学业的合格本科生将在全国范围内招聘。重点将放在招收学生从小新英格兰/纽约地区学院，有有限的研究机会，本科生，并招收少数民族学生在生命科学中的代表性不足。该计划的重点是为本科生提供一个沉浸在研究实验室日常活动中的机会。该计划将持续八周，并将强调在植物生物学教师导师的监督下进行独立研究。此外，每周的活动计划，以培养社区之间的REU参与者的意识，并提供在科学研究或教学生涯中使用的各种重要技能的有用经验。这些活动包括实地考察当地栖息地，研讨会，以发展演讲技巧，职业选择研讨会有前REU参与者和海报会议在节目结束时。
