Proposal: 0851716PI Name: Anderson, Kimberly W.This three year REU Site program at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation will provide undergraduate students with a multidisciplinary research and education experience in the area of Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices. The students will learn about three cross-disciplinary research themes that form the foundation of research in this area. These include: 1) Novel Bioactive Architectures; 2) Cell/Protein interactions at Interfaces; and 3) Integration into Therapeutic and Diagnostic Devices. The specific objectives of this program include: 1) providing the students with interdisciplinary mentoring and research training; 2) stimulating the students' interests in Ph.D. careers in science and engineering through seminars, field trips, and interactions with both graduate students and faculty; and 3) developing the students' independence and confidence through participation in research, journal clubs, in-house presentations and scientific meetings.Students will be recruited from various undergraduate disciplines including engineering, biology, chemistry and physics. The PI will make special efforts to attract women and minorities to this program.?This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.?

提案：0851716 PI姓名：安德森，金伯利W.这三年REU网站计划在肯塔基州研究基金会的大学将提供本科生在工程生物活性界面和设备领域的多学科研究和教育经验。学生将了解三个跨学科的研究主题，形成在这一领域的研究基础。 这些措施包括：1）新的生物活性结构; 2）界面处的细胞/蛋白质相互作用;以及3）整合到治疗和诊断装置中。该项目的具体目标包括：1）为学生提供跨学科的指导和研究培训; 2）激发学生对博士学位的兴趣;透过研讨会、实地考察及与研究生及教职员的互动，培养学生在科学及工程方面的职业发展;及3）透过参与研究、期刊俱乐部、内部报告及科学会议，培养学生的独立性及自信心。PI将特别努力吸引妇女和少数民族参加这一计划。该网站由国防部与NSF REU项目共同资助。
