REU Site in Molecular Biosciences

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。加州-旧金山弗朗西斯科（UCSF）REU网站将在2009-2012年夏季为本科生提供一个研究项目。每年将选出10名学生参加为期10周的分子生物科学领域的课程，特别是生物化学，细胞生物学，遗传学和基因组学。REU计划将杰出的实验室研究经验与旨在促进科学交流和促进向研究生院过渡的活动相结合。这些项目将在使命湾进行，这是一个拥有200多个研究实验室的最先进的研究设施。UCSF夏季研究计划的核心是一个密集的实验室研究经验，学生根据他们的研究兴趣与UCSF教师导师配对。学生接受实践培训，使用尖端的生物技术，创造性地解决现代生物学问题。该研究计划包括与研究生/博士水平的研究共同导师，教师研究报告，指导期刊俱乐部组成部分，和口头/海报研究报告的日常互动。REU计划的第二个组成部分是一个共同课程，旨在培养科学沟通技能，增加科学广度，并为学生准备研究生院招生过程。共同课程包括以教师为主导的会议，重点是准备研究生院申请，面试技巧，科学口语和海报展示技巧，以及专注于生物科学多样性相关问题的研讨会。提供可选的GRE准备课程。此外，学生将有机会与UCSF的高中暑期实习生分享他们的研究经验和指导技能。该计划的高潮是广泛参加的学生海报和口头研究报告。学生将在全国范围内招募，并强烈鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和弱势（经济或第一次在大学）学生的申请。学生获得津贴，宿舍式的住房，往返于程序，通行证当地公共交通和访问免费的校园交通服务。更多信息和申请材料可在该计划的网站：http：//saawww.ucsf.edu/diversity/REU，或通过联系该计划主任，博士卡罗尔格罗斯，或计划协调员，卡莱钻石，在（415）514-0840，卡莱。钻石@ ucsf.edu。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The University of California -- San Francisco (UCSF) REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2012. Ten students will be selected each year to participate in a ten-week program in the area of molecular biosciences, specifically biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and genomics. The REU program combines an outstanding laboratory research experience with activities designed to foster scientific communication and facilitate a transition to graduate school. The programs will take place at Mission Bay, a state-of-the-art research facility housing more than 200 research laboratories. The centerpiece of the UCSF summer research program is an intensive laboratory research experience in which students are paired, based on their research interest, with UCSF faculty mentors. Students receive hands-on training using cutting edge biological techniques to creatively solve problems in modern biology. The research program includes daily interaction with a graduate/PhD level research co-mentor, faculty research presentations, a mentored journal club component, and oral/poster research presentations. The second component of the REU program is a co-curriculum designed to foster scientific communication skills, increase scientific breadth, and prepare students for the graduate school admissions process. The co-curriculum includes faculty-led sessions focused on preparing a graduate school application, interviewing skills, scientific oral and poster presentation skills, and a workshop focused on issues related to diversity in the biological sciences. An optional GRE preparation course is available. In addition, students will have the opportunity to share their research experiences and mentoring skills with high school-level summer interns at UCSF. The program culminates with widely attended student poster and oral research presentations. Students will be recruited nationally and applications from under-represented minority and disadvantaged (economically or first in college) students are strongly encouraged. Students receive a stipend, dormitory-style housing, travel to and from the program, passes for local public transit and access to free campus transportation services.
