URM:?Integrative Biology For Future Researchers?NSF funding will establish an Undergraduate Research and Mentoring Program in the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). The objectives of the URM program are to attract, mentor, and prepare undergraduate students historically underrepresented in scientific research for graduate studies in life sciences. FAU is a minority institution as well as a Hispanic serving university. The undergraduate scholars will participate in weekly meetings with the PIs (academic mentoring) to discuss their projects and receive feedback on their research experience and in activities aimed at strengthening their science related skills. Each student will also be paired with a faculty mentor (research mentoring) who will train and guide the student in the specific area of research of the mentor. The areas of research include; a) Conservation Biology, b) Marine Biology and Behavior, and c) Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. These areas will be linked together by judicious choice of projects that will highlight the integrated nature of the program. The FAU-URM program will train students in a variety of research areas that will facilitate their movement into, graduate programs In addition; this URM will enhance the workforce development for SE Florida in anticipation of growing employment opportunities in life science institutions. For example, Scripps of Florida, the Torrey Pines Institute the USGS are adding facilities on or adjacent to FAU campuses as well as a variety of nearby state and federal laboratories.

URM：？未来研究人员的综合生物学？NSF的资助将在佛罗里达大西洋大学（FAU）的生物科学系建立一个本科生研究和指导计划。URM计划的目标是吸引，指导和准备本科生历史上在科学研究中代表性不足的生命科学研究生课程。FAU是一个少数民族机构，也是一所西班牙裔服务大学。本科生学者将参加每周与PI（学术指导）的会议，讨论他们的项目，并获得有关他们的研究经验和旨在加强他们的科学相关技能的活动的反馈。每个学生还将与一名教师导师（研究指导）配对，导师将在导师的特定研究领域培训和指导学生。研究领域包括：a）保护生物学，B）海洋生物学和行为学，以及c）分子，细胞和发育生物学。这些领域将通过明智的项目选择联系在一起，这些项目将突出该计划的综合性质。该FAU-URM计划将培养学生在各种研究领域，这将有利于他们的运动到，研究生课程此外，这URM将提高劳动力发展SE佛罗里达在生命科学机构的就业机会不断增长的预期。例如，佛罗里达的斯克里普斯、美国地质勘探局的托里松树研究所正在FAU校园内或附近增加设施，以及附近的各种州和联邦实验室。PI：Rodney Murphey，佛罗里达大西洋大学，生物科学系主任[e-mail]; Evelyn Frazier，佛罗里达大西洋大学，生物科学系，[e-mail]。有关更多信息，请访问http://www.science.fau.edu/biology/
