The Clarkson UBM project combines rigorous classroom instruction and integrative summer research to create a long-term culture of interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematics and biology and will support development of an interdisciplinary Minor in Mathematical Biosciences. Undergraduate student pairs, one each from biology and mathematics, will work together with faculty pairs from multiple disciplines that have complementary expertise at the math-biology interface. At least three to five integrated research teams will work together during a 10-week summer program. Students also will receive specialized instruction in mathematical biosciences using seminars, discussions, independent projects, and active-learning lectures. In addition to its benefits for the 15-20 UBM research students, this project will increase curricular offerings and foster a collaborative interdepartmental culture that will provide opportunities and stimulation for both students and faculty to become more involved in the interdisciplinary research and study in areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Summer research activities will be integrated with other summer programs at Clarkson, such as McNair, Honors, and NSF-Research Experience for Undergraduates, to broaden the influence of students and mentors in this program. Research projects will push the boundaries of science, be broadly disseminated, and generate new ways of thinking about diverse problems through interdisciplinary interactions.

该克拉克森UBM项目结合了严格的课堂教学和综合夏季研究，创造数学和生物学之间的跨学科合作的长期文化，并将支持数学生物科学的跨学科未成年人的发展。本科生对，每个从生物学和数学，将与教师对从多个学科，在数学生物学接口有互补的专业知识一起工作。在为期10周的暑期项目中，至少有三到五个综合研究团队将一起工作。学生还将通过研讨会，讨论，独立项目和主动学习讲座接受数学生物科学的专业指导。 除了它的15-20 UBM研究生的好处，该项目将增加课程设置，并促进合作的跨部门文化，这将提供机会和激励学生和教师成为更多地参与跨学科的研究和学习领域的科学，技术，工程和数学。夏季研究活动将与其他暑期项目在克拉克森，如麦克奈尔，荣誉，和NSF研究经验的本科生，以扩大学生和导师在这个程序的影响力。研究项目将推动科学的边界，被广泛传播，并通过跨学科的互动产生对不同问题的新的思维方式。
