项目摘要

The Undergraduate Research Experience in Phylogenetic Approaches toBiological Problems will allow undergraduates to participate for ten weeksduring each of the summers of 2002-04. Research projects will span diverseareas of biology from phycology, molecular evolution, behavioral ecology andmicrobial diversity but will all have a common phylogenetic perspective.Ten highly qualified undergraduates will be selected for each summer'sprogram from local and national institutions with attention paid torecruiting from underrepresented groups. The main objectives of thisprogram are to 1) train students in basic methods of molecular biology andbioinformatics , 2) provide a mentored research experience using thesetechniques, 3) educate students about the diversity of problems to beunderstood with such techniques, and 4) raise awareness of research careeropportunities. These objectives will be attained by a combination oftutorials in theory and techniques common to all of the projects of theprogram, mentored research by individual faculty, a seminar programdelivered by visiting specialists, and career advising by local staff andformer alumni of the program. The program will culminate in a day-longresearch symposium presented by the participants. The long-term goals ofthe experience are increased awareness of and competitiveness for careers inresearch and/or university-level teaching.

在2002- 2004年的每个夏天，本科生可以参加生物学问题的系统发生方法的本科生研究经验十周。研究项目将涵盖从藻类学、分子进化、行为生态学和微生物多样性等生物学的不同领域，但都将有一个共同的系统发育观点。每年夏季的项目将从地方和国家机构中挑选10名高素质的本科生，并注意从代表性不足的群体中招募。该计划的主要目标是：1）培养学生的分子生物学和生物信息学的基本方法，2）提供一个指导的研究经验，使用这些技术，3）教育学生的多样性问题，以了解这些技术，和4）提高研究的职业机会的意识。这些目标将通过课程所有项目的理论和技术指导，个别教师的指导研究，访问专家提供的研讨会计划以及当地员工和该计划前校友的职业咨询相结合来实现。该计划将在为期一天的研究研讨会上达到高潮。该经验的长期目标是提高对研究和/或大学教学职业的认识和竞争力。
