Hope College (Holland, MI) will host an REU Site each summer for the next 5 years (2008-2012). Students will conduct research on "Environmental Impacts on Biological Systems: From Molecules to Ecosystems," with faculty in the Biology Department. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the integrative nature of biology and of the role of the environment in biological processes and on biological systems. Students will generate experimental hypotheses, design and carry out experiments, evaluate data, and communicate their results to both scientific and non-scientific audiences. Students will also gain insight into linkages across different scales of biological systems, while conducting research at the level of biological organization in which they are most interested. Students will learn lab techniques and use of the scientific literature, participate in weekly workshops, discuss ethics in science, and get exposed to various careers in science. At the end of summer, students are expected to be experts in the background, methods, results and significance of their research work and are prepared to present their work at professional scientific meetings. The goal is to develop students into independent and highly competent young scientists who are well-prepared for graduate study in biology and careers as research scientists. REU students are provided with a stipend, no cost housing, and funds for travel to and from Hope College. Students belonging to groups underrepresented in the biological sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.

希望学院（荷兰，密歇根州）将在未来5年（2008-2012）每年夏天举办一个REU网站。学生将与生物系的教师一起进行“环境对生物系统的影响：从分子到生态系统”的研究。学生将对生物学的综合性质以及环境在生物过程和生物系统中的作用有更深入的了解。 学生将生成实验假设，设计和进行实验，评估数据，并将其结果传达给科学和非科学受众。学生还将深入了解生物系统的不同尺度之间的联系，同时在他们最感兴趣的生物组织水平上进行研究。 学生将学习实验室技术和科学文献的使用，参加每周的研讨会，讨论科学道德，并接触科学领域的各种职业。 在夏季结束时，学生预计将成为他们的研究工作的背景，方法，结果和意义的专家，并准备在专业科学会议上介绍他们的工作。我们的目标是培养学生成为独立和高度胜任的年轻科学家，他们为生物学研究生学习和研究科学家的职业生涯做好了充分的准备。REU学生提供津贴，免费住房，以及往返希望学院的旅费。 强烈鼓励属于生物科学代表性不足的群体的学生申请。 更多信息可在http：//sharp.edu.edu/，或通过联系项目主任（克里斯托弗巴尼）在[e-mail]。
