Beginning in the summer of 2001, Clark Atlanta University will offer summer research experiences for ten undergraduate students in the areas of cellular and molecular biology and biological chemistry. Undergraduate students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the Southeastern United States will primarily be recruited as applicants for this program. Junior and senior students recruited into the program will be involved in basic biological and chemical research in the laboratories of faculty members who are experienced in the training and mentoring of undergraduate students. The purpose of this research training will be to expose students from small, non-research oriented schools to approaches to some of the most critical research problems of today and to state-of-the-art instrumentation. Projects on which students will work range from investigations on the phenomenon of signal transduction in mammalian cells to discoveries of new synthesis techniques for chiral compounds. With these types of exposure, the students will not only gain new scientific knowledge and have their classroom lectures reinforced, but they can also learn firsthand about the career possibilities available in the research arena.

从2001年夏天开始，克拉克亚特兰大大学将为10名本科生提供细胞和分子生物学以及生物化学领域的暑期研究经验。来自美国东南部传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）的本科生将主要被招募为该计划的申请人。该项目招收的大三和大四学生将在具有培养和指导本科生经验的教师的实验室中参与基础生物和化学研究。这项研究培训的目的是让来自小型、非研究型学校的学生了解当今一些最关键的研究问题的方法和最先进的仪器。学生将从事的项目范围从研究哺乳动物细胞中的信号转导现象到发现手性化合物的新合成技术。通过这些类型的接触，学生不仅可以获得新的科学知识，巩固他们的课堂知识，而且他们还可以直接了解研究领域的职业可能性。
