REU Site: Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program for Undergraduates

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校面向本科生的综合生物科学暑期研究计划(IBS-SRP)旨在教育、鼓励和准备高潜力学生继续研究生学习和生物研究职业，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：计算生物学与生物统计学、神经生物学、细胞与分子生物学、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组成了一个大型的跨学科学习社区，通过进化理论和研究过程探索学生研究项目之间的联系。此外，该计划还通过举办关于科学写作和演示技能、研究生院准备、生物科学研究职业机会和生物研究伦理的研讨会，促进学生的职业发展和培养文化能力。每个学生在课程开始时写一份研究计划书，在最后写一篇期末论文。这篇论文是在为与会者和来自校园社区的其他受邀嘉宾举办的研讨会上提交的。特别鼓励那些在生物科学研究中代表性不足的学生、来自低收入家庭的学生、第一代大学生，或就读于研究机会有限的小型文科院校的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问项目网站(http://www.wisc.edu/cbe/srp-bio/))或联系项目主任珍妮特·布兰肖博士(Branchaw@witc.edu)。

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.
