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。加州大学旧金山分校（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项目将优秀的实验室研究经验与旨在促进科学交流和促进研究生院过渡的活动相结合。这些项目将在Mission Bay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暑期研究项目的核心是一个密集的实验室研究体验，学生根据他们的研究兴趣与UCSF教师导师配对。学生接受实践训练，使用尖端的生物技术创造性地解决现代生物学中的问题。研究计划包括与研究生/博士水平的研究合作导师的日常互动，教师研究报告，指导期刊俱乐部组成部分，口头/海报研究报告。REU项目的第二个组成部分是一个联合课程，旨在培养科学交流技能，增加科学广度，并为研究生入学过程做好准备。联合课程包括教师主导的课程，重点是准备研究生院申请，面试技巧，科学口头和海报展示技巧，以及一个专注于生物科学多样性相关问题的研讨会。可选的GRE准备课程是可用的。此外，学生将有机会与加州大学旧金山分校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，强烈鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和弱势群体（经济或大学第一名）的学生申请。学生们将获得津贴、宿舍式的住房、往返于项目的交通、当地公共交通的通行证和免费的校园交通服务。更多信息和申请材料可在项目网站上获得：http://saawww.ucsf.edu/diversity/REU，或联系项目主任卡罗尔·格罗斯博士或项目协调员卡莱·戴蒙德，电话：（415）514-0840,Kalai.Diamond@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.
