RUI: Undergraduate Biomathematical Research Career Initiative at SUNY-Geneseo

SUNY Geneseo的本科生物数学研究职业计划是一个以研究为基础的计划，它将新的和修订的基于问题的课程组成部分（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，概率论，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人的，食物网的进化模型)在理解复杂问题方面突破了现代技术的界限。本科学生参加这个培训项目，因为他们将新的课堂学习与生物数学前沿的研究项目相结合。联合指导的生物数学研究项目是该计划的核心，这些研究项目促进了教师发展和课程创新。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一种激励。SUNY Geneseo的本科生生物数学研究职业计划支持Geneseo的一个计划，该计划为两个相关项目和研究所带来16名学生的持续承诺，在生物数学领域进行广泛的综合课程改进。该项目建立在Geneseo大学本科项目的现有优势和四位联合项目负责人的专业知识基础上。它增加了接受数学和生物学训练的学生数量，也增加了从事这两个领域交叉研究的学生和教师的数量。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。该项目由本科教育司/EHP，生物学理事会和多学科活动办公室/MPS联合支持。

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.
