REU Site - Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Biochemistry

德州农工大学生物化学与生物物理系在2002 - 2004年夏季为本科生生物化学研究资助了一个nsf研究经验网站。该课程的主要目标是让学生为从事研究生培训和研究工作做好准备，并向这些学生灌输一种对这一追求所涉及的努力和满足感的欣赏。学生将在一个充满活力的部门中接受各种现代生化方法的培训，并将培养有效的口头和书面沟通技巧来描述科学项目。最多15名学生将被选中参加为期10周的暑期课程，该课程将与大学的暑期课程同时进行（通常从5月底到8月初）。虽然不严格限于这个地理区域，但我们将重点招聘那些在德克萨斯州和中南部各州的学院和大学完成大三或大二的学生，特别是那些不提供博士学位的机构的学生。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的少数民族学生的申请。本科生参与者将进行生物化学的前沿研究，同时融入现有的研究生、博士后、本科生和技术人员的实验室小组。在课程结束时，学生将以书面和口头报告的形式展示他们的研究成果。

The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M University is sponsoring a NSF-Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site for undergraduate research in biochemistry during the summers of 2002 - 2004. The major goals of this program are to prepare students to pursue graduate training and careers in research and to instill in those students an appreciation of the effort and satisfaction involved in this pursuit. Students will be trained in a diverse array of modern biochemical methods in a vibrant department, and will develop effective oral and written communication skills to describe scientific projects. Up to fifteen students will be selected to participate in a 10-week summer program that will coincide with the summer session at the university (typically from the end of May until early August). Although not strictly limited to this geographical area, we will focus our recruiting efforts on students who have completed their junior or sophomore year at colleges and universities in Texas and mid-Southern states, particularly those from institutions that do not offer doctoral degrees. Applications from students in underrepresented minority groups are particularly encouraged. Undergraduate participants will perform cutting-edge research in biochemistry while integrated into pre-existing laboratory groups of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, undergraduate students and technicians. At the conclusion of the program the students will present their research accomplishments in both written and oral reports.
