This summer research program for undergraduates in Cell and Molecular Biology supports undergraduate research in laboratories of leading researchers in the biological sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Members of minority groups underrepresented in biological research and students from institutions without broad research facilities are selected for the program based on research interests and potential commitment to a research career. During a 9-week program, each student works on an independent research project in a faculty mentor's laboratory. Depending upon the project, participants learn current techniques including DNA cloning, PCR sequencing, in situ hybridization, cell culture, and Western blotting. They also participate in workshops on specific research areas, bioethics, advice from graduate students, and preparation for the Graduate Record Examination. Students write and orally present a research proposal at the beginning of the program, and, at the conclusion, submit a paper summarizing their work. The paper is presented at a symposium for the participants and other invited guests from the campus community.

细胞和分子生物学本科生的夏季研究计划支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校生物科学领先研究人员实验室的本科生研究。在生物学研究中代表性不足的少数群体成员和来自没有广泛研究设施的机构的学生根据研究兴趣和对研究事业的潜在承诺被选中参加该计划。在为期9周的课程中，每个学生都在教师导师的实验室中进行独立的研究项目。根据项目的不同，参与者学习当前的技术，包括DNA克隆，PCR测序，原位杂交，细胞培养和蛋白质印迹。他们还参加关于特定研究领域、生物伦理学、研究生建议和研究生入学考试准备的讲习班。学生在课程开始时撰写并口头提出研究建议，并在结束时提交一篇总结他们工作的论文。该文件是在一个研讨会上提出的与会者和其他受邀嘉宾从校园社区。
