The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) REU Site will provide a program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2012. Eight students will be selected to participate in a 9-week research program in cellular, molecular and genetic approaches to biological problems. Undergraduates from partner institutions, including the Univ. of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Barry Univ. (FL), Florida A&M Univ., Grinnell College (IA), Jackson State Univ. (MS), Medgar Evers College (NY), Missouri State Univ., Prairie View A&M Univ. (TX), College of St. Elizabeth (NJ), Truman State Univ. (MO), and Xavier Univ. (LA), will be recruited to the program. The program has been designed to stimulate interest in graduate study. The research programs of faculty mentors use methodologies ranging from recombinant DNA technology and molecular cytology, to sophisticated population genetics. The research experience is the heart of the summer program. Participants also develop communication skills through brown-bag lunches, lab group meetings, and an end-of-program Summer Undergraduate Research Science Symposium and poster session. Students are involved in activities such as seminars, panel discussions on preparation for graduate school and career options, and a science ethics workshop. Students are strongly encouraged to present their research at regional and national scientific meetings.

密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU） REU网站将在2009-2012年夏季为本科生提供一个项目。8名学生将被选中参加一个为期9周的研究项目，研究生物问题的细胞、分子和遗传方法。来自合作院校的本科生，包括阿肯色大学派恩布拉夫分校、巴里大学（FL）、佛罗里达农工大学、格林内尔学院（IA）、杰克逊州立大学（MS）、Medgar Evers学院（NY）、密苏里州立大学、Prairie View农工大学（TX）、圣伊丽莎白学院（新泽西州）、杜鲁门州立大学（MO）和泽维尔大学（LA），将被招募到该项目中。这个项目旨在激发人们对研究生学习的兴趣。教师导师的研究项目使用的方法从重组DNA技术和分子细胞学到复杂的群体遗传学。研究经历是暑期项目的核心。参与者还可以通过午餐、实验室小组会议、项目结束后的夏季本科生研究科学研讨会和海报会议来培养沟通技巧。学生们参与了一些活动，如研讨会、关于研究生院准备和职业选择的小组讨论，以及科学伦理研讨会。强烈鼓励学生在区域和国家科学会议上展示他们的研究。更多信息请访问http://lsurop.missouri.edu/summerOther/nsf-reuBiologyBiochemistry.htm，或联系Linda Blockus博士（573-882-5979;[e-mail]）或项目主任John David博士（[e-mail]; 573-882-0120）。
