RUI: Undergraduate Biomathematical Research Career Initiative at SUNY-Geneseo

纽约州立大学Geneseo的本科生生物数学研究职业计划是一个以研究为基础的课程，将新的和修订的以问题为基础的课程组件(例如，生物学家的微积分、生物系统建模、生物数据分析、离散数学、图论、概率、统计学和计算分子分析)与研究活动(从生物分子计算到基于个体的食物网的进化建模)相结合，推动现代技术在理解复杂问题方面的边界。本科生参与这个培训计划，因为他们将新的基于课堂的研究与生物数学前沿的研究项目结合在一起。共同指导更多的生物数学研究项目是该计划的核心，这些研究项目是对学院发展和课程创新的刺激。直接参与这些研究项目的机会是对生物数学研究领域的学生和教师的激励，纽约州立大学Geneseo的本科生生物数学研究职业计划支持Geneseo的一个计划，该计划带来了16名学生在两个相关项目和研究所在生物数学领域广泛的、综合的课程改进。该项目建立在Geneseo目前本科课程的优势和四个合作伙伴的专业知识的基础上。它增加了接受过数学和生物培训的学生数量，并增加了在这两个领域交叉进行研究的学生和教职员工的数量。它提高了Geneseo生物数学研究的知名度，并促进了纽约西部地区和全国的本科生生物数学研究。该项目由本科生教育/环境保护计划司、生物学指导委员会和多学科活动办公室/MPS共同支持。

The Undergraduate Biomathematical Research Career Initiativeat SUNY Geneseo is a research-based program that combines new andrevised problem-based curricular components (e.g., calculus forbiologists, modeling biological systems, biological dataanalysis, discrete mathematics, graph theory, probability,statistics and computational molecular analysis) with researchactivities (ranging from biomolecular computing toindividual-based, evolutionary modeling of food webs) that pushthe boundaries of modern techniques in understanding complexproblems. Undergraduate students participate in this trainingprogram as they blend new classroom-based studies with researchprojects at the frontier of biomathematics. Jointly-mentoredbiomathematical research projects are at the core of the programand these research projects serve as a stimulus for facultydevelopment and curricular innovation. The opportunity todirectly participate in these research projects serves as anincentive for students and faculty in the research areas ofbiomathematics The Undergraduate Biomathematical Research Career Initiativeat SUNY Geneseo supports a program at Geneseo that brings thecontinuing commitment of sixteen students in two related projectsand institutes broad, integrated curricular improvement in thearea of biomathematics. The project builds upon the currentstrengths of the undergraduate program at Geneseo and theexpertise of the four co-PI's. It increases the number ofstudents trained in mathematics and biology, and it increases thenumber of students and faculty performing research at theintersection of the two fields. It increases the visibility ofbiomathematics research at Geneseo and promotes undergraduatebiomathematics research in the western New York region andnationally. This project is jointly supported by the Division ofUndergraduate Education/EHP, the Biology directorate, and theOffice of Multidisciplinary Activities/MPS.
