The University of Arizona (UA) will conduct a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (REU) designed to teach students science by involving them in research. The specific focus of the program is molecular biosciences - the application of biochemical and molecular biological techniques to biological problems. Students recruited nationally will participate in summer research on the University of Arizona Campus. Particular attention will be paid to identifying students from ethnic minority groups underrepresented in the sciences and those who have little opportunity for research experience at their home institution. Participating students will work for 12 weeks during the summer. REU students will be matched with participating faculty and will have a major voice in determining which lab they enter. In addition to regular lab meetings, they will participate in a two day orientation covering lab safety and an introduction to research ethics at the beginning of the summer followed by weekly REU student group meetings with the project PI and co-PI. The REU group meetings will enable students to develop professional skills, such as presentation of research results, and will feature presentations on preparing for, applying to, and selecting a graduate program. In addition, students attend seminars by UA and visiting scientists on relevant scientific topics. Field trips to places such as the Biosphere II and the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum will supplement the research experience. The summer will culminate in a poster session at which students share their experimental results.Carol Bender, UBRP Director, is the contact person.

亚利桑那大学（UA）将开展本科生研究经验计划（REU），旨在通过让学生参与研究来教授他们科学。 该计划的具体重点是分子生物科学-生物化学和分子生物学技术在生物问题中的应用。 在全国范围内招募的学生将参加亚利桑那大学校园的夏季研究。 将特别注意从少数民族群体中确定学生人数不足的科学和那些谁没有机会在他们的家乡机构的研究经验。 参加的学生将在夏季工作12周。 REU学生将与参与教师相匹配，并将在决定他们进入哪个实验室时拥有主要发言权。 除了定期的实验室会议，他们将参加为期两天的方向，包括实验室安全和介绍研究伦理学在夏季开始，然后每周REU学生小组会议与项目PI和共同PI。 REU小组会议将使学生发展专业技能，如研究成果的演示，并将介绍准备，申请和选择研究生课程。 此外，学生还参加联合大学和访问科学家关于相关科学主题的研讨会。 实地考察的地方，如生物圈二号和亚利桑那州索诺兰沙漠博物馆将补充研究经验。 夏季将在海报会议中达到高潮，学生们将在海报会议上分享他们的实验结果。UBRP主任卡罗尔·本德是联系人。 可以通过电话：520-621-9348和电子邮件：[e-mail]联系到她。 有关该网站的更多信息可以在本科生物学研究计划（UBRP）网站上找到：http://www.blc.arizona.edu/ubrp
