项目摘要

AbstractThis REU Site program will engage 12 undergraduate students in a 10-week summer research program in molecular biology. Students will be paired with biology faculty mentors from James Madison University, Eastern Mennonite University, or Bridgewater College. Students work on their own individual research project associated with their mentor's ongoing research program. Students select their own projects in molecular biology either at the gene, cell, tissue, or system level. Students become involved in the research project by reading literature, developing a hypothesis, gathering data using molecular techniques, and presenting the results at a symposium. Students also participate in workshops, seminars on scientific- and bioethics related topics, and social activities including river rafting, hiking, or canoeing in the Shenandoah Valley. Students receive a stipend, an allowance for traveling to and from the site, housing, meal assistance, and transportation to and from various activities. Students will be encouraged to invite faculty mentors from their home institutions to the final symposium. Some travel allowance will be provided the faculty from the home institutions for this visit. Students from under-represented groups or with minimal prior research experience are strongly encouraged to apply. To apply for this program or for more information, go to http://www.jmu.edu/biology/reu/reu.shtml. Questions about the program can be addressed to Dr. Terrie Rife at rifetk@jmu.edu, Robyn Puffenbarger at rpuffenb@bridgewater.edu or Stephen Cessna at cessnas@emu.edu.

摘要：REU计划邀请12名本科生参加为期10周的分子生物学暑期研究项目。学生将与来自詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学、东门诺特大学或布里奇沃特学院的生物系导师配对。学生们在导师正在进行的研究项目中进行自己的个人研究项目。学生选择自己的项目在分子生物学无论是在基因，细胞，组织，或系统水平。学生通过阅读文献、提出假设、使用分子技术收集数据并在研讨会上展示结果来参与研究项目。学生还将参加有关科学和生物伦理相关主题的讲习班、研讨会，以及在谢南多厄河谷漂流、徒步旅行或划独木舟等社会活动。学生将获得津贴，包括往返于场地、住房、膳食援助以及往返于各种活动的交通费用。学生将被鼓励邀请他们所在机构的教师导师参加最后的研讨会。本院校的教师将为这次访问提供一些旅行津贴。强烈鼓励来自代表性不足群体或之前研究经验最少的学生申请。要申请这个项目或了解更多信息，请访问http://www.jmu.edu/biology/reu/reu.shtml。有关该计划的问题可向特里·里夫博士（rifetk@jmu.edu）、罗宾·普芬巴格（rpuffenb@bridgewater.edu）或斯蒂芬·塞斯纳（cessnas@emu.edu）咨询。
