This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The Virginia Tech REU Site will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011. Ten students will be selected each year to participate in an intensive 10-week research program in microbiology. The program will introduce participants to projects using genome-based technologies as well as focused approaches in analyzing a wide range of microbiological phenomena. Recruitment will emphasize the inclusion of members from underrepresented groups, and those at institutions where opportunities for research are limited. The program will include i) a student-led independent research project; ii) discussion sessions and seminars given by faculty members and external speakers; iii) career sessions on gaining admission to a Ph.D. program and pursuing graduate studies productively; iv) visits to companies and laboratories that utilize or study microbiological processes; and vi) presentation of research results by each student in a poster and/or seminar format at a campus-wide research symposium. During the 2nd and 3rd year of the program, two high school teachers will participate in all activities and interact with the REU participants. In addition, the teachers will develop focused projects applicable for introducing the students to microbiological phenomena in the classroom. The program provides a stipend, travel to and from the site, and room and board. Additional information is available from the Program Director, Dr. Biswarup Mukhopadhyay (e-mail: [e-mail], phone: [phone]) or online at http://microbiologyreu-ret.vbi.vt.edu/.

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。弗吉尼亚理工大学REU网站将在2009-2011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周的微生物学密集研究计划。该计划将向参与者介绍使用基于基因组的技术以及分析各种微生物现象的重点方法的项目。招聘将强调纳入代表性不足的群体的成员，以及研究机会有限的机构的成员。该计划将包括i）一个学生主导的独立研究项目; ii）讨论会和研讨会由教师和外部发言人; iii）职业会议上获得博士学位。程序和追求研究生学习富有成效; iv）参观利用或研究微生物过程的公司和实验室;和vi）研究成果的介绍，由每个学生在海报和/或研讨会的格式在校园范围内的研究座谈会。在该计划的第二和第三年，两名高中教师将参加所有活动，并与REU参与者互动。此外，教师将开发适用于在课堂上向学生介绍微生物现象的重点项目。该计划提供津贴、往返现场的旅费以及食宿。更多信息可向方案主任Biswarup Mukhopadhyay博士（电子邮件：[e-mail]，电话：540 231 8015）或在http://microbiologyreu-ret.vbi.vt.edu/网站上查阅。
