REU Site: Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program for Undergraduates

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校本科生综合生物科学暑期研究项目（IBS-SRP）旨在教育、鼓励和培养高潜力的学生从事生物学研究的研究生学习和职业，并加深他们对进化论的理解。在这个为期十周的课程中，学生们在学院实验室做个人研究项目，研究五个领域中的一个：计算生物学和生物统计学、神经生物学、细胞和分子生物学、植物生物学或环境生物学。这五个以学科为基础的学生和教师小组形成了一个大型的跨学科学习社区，通过进化论和研究过程探索学生研究项目之间的联系。此外，该计划还通过科学写作和演讲技巧、研究生院准备、生物科学研究职业机会和生物研究伦理等方面的研讨会，促进学生的专业发展，建立文化能力。每个学生在课程开始时写一份研究计划，在课程结束时写一篇期末论文。这篇论文是在一个研讨会上发表的，与会者和其他受邀嘉宾来自校园社区。特别鼓励来自生物科学研究中代表性不足的少数民族、来自低收入家庭、第一代大学生或就读于研究机会有限的小型自由派艺术学院的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问项目网站（http://www.wisc.edu/cbe/srp-bio/）或联系项目主任Janet Branchaw博士（branchaw@wisc.edu, 608/262-1182）。

The Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP) for Undergraduates at the University of Wisconsin -- Madison aims to educate, encourage and prepare high potential students to pursue graduate study and careers in biological research, and to deepen their understanding of evolutionary theory. During this ten-week program students do individual research projects in faculty laboratories studying one of five areas: computational biology & biostatistics, neurobiology, cellular & molecular biology, plant biology, or environmental biology. These five, discipline-based groups of students and faculty form a large interdisciplinary learning community that explores connections across the students' research projects through evolutionary theory and the research process. In addition, the program fosters student professional development and builds cultural competency through workshops on science writing and presentation skills, preparation for graduate school, biological sciences research career opportunities, and ethics in biological research. Each student writes a research proposal at the beginning of the program and a final paper at the end. The paper is presented at a symposium for participants and other invited guests from the campus community. Students who are from ethnic groups underrepresented in biological sciences research, from low-income homes, first-generation college students, or attend small liberals arts colleges with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.
