BioMathletic Training: Creating the Next Generation of BioMath Stars at Ohio State University

俄亥俄州立大学通过数学系、统计学系、进化系、生态学系和组织生物学系的合作，计划在俄亥俄州立大学开展数学和统计生物学的跨学科本科生研究项目。计算神经科学和细胞生物学领域也有研究机会。该计划将：(1)让广泛的学生接触数学生物科学中的研究问题；(2)开发课程，为学生在跨学科领域继续深造做好准备；以及(3)促进一批本科生参与由学生和教师导师团队参与的密集和综合研究体验。初级学生将参加每个学年举办的研讨会课程，让他们接触数学生物学的广泛领域；而更高级的学生将作为本科生研究员(URF)参加该计划。URF将在两到三个学年和高年级前一个夏天参加指导研究体验。每个与个别研究项目相关的联合首席调查员都有积极的研究计划。许多拟议的活动将影响一个广泛的群体，从只参加新开发的跨学科课程的学生到被选为URF的学生。这项提议最深远的影响将是培养一批学生，他们意识到数学和统计生物科学的研究机会，准备进入这些领域的研究生学习和职业生涯，并有动力继续在跨学科领域工作，换句话说，他们是下一代生物数学明星。感兴趣的人可联系国际和平组织的伊恩·汉密尔顿博士：hamilton.598@osu edu和/或访问http://excelsior.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~eeob/drupal//?q=userpages/85

UBM-Institutional: BioMathletic TrainingAn interdisciplinary undergraduate research program in mathematical and statistical biology is planned at Ohio State University through a collaborative effort between the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics, and Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology. Research opportunities are also available in Computational Neuroscience & Cell Biology. The program will: (1) expose a broad group of students to research problems in the mathematical biosciences; (2) develop curricula to prepare students to pursue advanced study in interdisciplinary fields; and (3) facilitate participation of a cohort of undergraduates in an intensive and integrated research experience involving teams of students and faculty mentors. Beginning students will participate in a seminar course held during every academic quarter that exposes them to the broad area of mathematical biology; while more advanced students will participate in the program as Undergraduate Research Fellows (URFs). The URFs will participate in a mentored research experience during two or three academic years and the summer before their senior year. Each of the co-Principal Investigators associated with the individual research projects have active research programs. Many of the proposed activities will impact a broad group, ranging from students who participate only in the newly-developed interdisciplinary courses to those selected as URFs. The most profound impact of the proposal will be the production of a group of students who are aware of the opportunities available in research in the mathematical and statistical biosciences, who are prepared to enter into graduate study and careers in these areas, and who are motivated to continue working in interdisciplinary fields, in other words- the next generation of BioMath stars.
