REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates-Microbiology

威斯康星大学REU网站将在2009-2013年夏季为本科生提供一个研究项目。8名学生将被选中参加由细菌学部门管理的为期10周的暑期课程。目标是在微生物学，分子生物学和相关领域提供密集，刺激和有益的研究经验。该计划的最终目标是吸引有才华的本科生从事科学事业。重点是培养那些将扩大在科学事业中代表性不足的少数族裔群体的学生，以及那些在本国机构从事研究机会有限的学生。参与者将花费大部分时间在完善和资金充足的实验室中对一个项目进行独立研究，这些实验室使用最先进的设备和科学方法。除了研究，各种教育，研究生院的准备和社会活动的计划，使学生得到一个丰富的，全面的和愉快的暑期体验。学生将发表他们的最终结果报告，在特别研讨会上展示他们的发现，并鼓励他们在地区甚至国家科学会议上展示他们的工作。为学生提供津贴、食宿和往返实验室的交通。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.bact.wisc.edu/reu.php，或咨询项目主任Robin Kurtz博士，电话：（608）263-1781，电子邮件地址rskurtz@wisc.edu。

The University of Wisconsin REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2013. Eight students will be selected to participate in the 10-week summer program administered by the Department of Bacteriology. The goal is to provide an intensive, stimulating, and rewarding research experience in microbiology, molecular biology and related fields. The ultimate goal of the program is to attract talented undergraduates to careers in science. The emphasis is on students who will broaden the pool of under-represented minorities in science careers and those with limited opportunities for research at their home institutions. Participants will spend the majority of their time conducting independent research on a project in well-established and well-funded laboratories where state-of-the-art equipment and scientific approaches are utilized. In addition to research, a variety of educational, graduate school preparation, and social activities are planned so students get a rich, well-rounded and enjoyable summer experience. Students will publish a final report of their results, present their findings at a Special Symposium, and be encouraged to present their work at a regional, or even national scientific meeting. Students are provided a stipend, housing and meals, and travel to and from the lab.
