An award has been made to Delaware State University (DSU) to provide undergraduate research training in molecular genetics and genomics for nine weeks to 10 students each year, for the summers of 2010-2013. The scientific focus of this research program is the use of genetics, molecular biology, and genomics tools to bring together and understand diverse areas of biological sciences. The program offers a unique opportunity to use this common thread to train undergraduate students with interests in various fields of biology and to expose them to potential applications in their respective fields of interest. The program includes training in state-of-the-art research techniques and instrumentation in molecular biology and genomics by means of an initial methods workshop, a microarray/next generation sequencing and bioinformatics workshop, ethics training, and interaction with various levels of researchers in academia, government, and industry. Students will have the opportunity to work on specific research problems under the supervision of faculty mentors, while developing capabilities to work both individually and as part of a team with fellow students. Students are expected to participate in all individual research projects and team activities that will conclude with a research symposium, and in surveys required for tracking of progress after completion of the program. Students are expected to maintain laboratory notebooks that document their research experiments, and conduct their research responsibly. The REU program will conclude with a DSU-wide Student Research Symposium where REU students present posters, and showcase their summer research to faculty, students, family, friends, high school students and teachers. Students for this program will be recruited from the biotechnology program at Delaware Technical and Community College, biology program at Wesley College, biology, agriculture and natural resources at Delaware State University and biology and related fields from other institutions nationwide. Student progress in scientific careers and research after completion of the REU program will be tracked by the use of a common assessment tool.

已向特拉华州州立大学（DSU）颁发奖项，在2010-2013年夏季每年为10名学生提供为期9周的分子遗传学和基因组学本科生研究培训。该研究计划的科学重点是使用遗传学，分子生物学和基因组学工具来汇集和了解生物科学的不同领域。 该计划提供了一个独特的机会，使用这个共同的线程来培养本科生在生物学的各个领域的兴趣，并让他们接触到各自感兴趣的领域的潜在应用。 该计划包括通过初始方法研讨会，微阵列/下一代测序和生物信息学研讨会，道德培训以及与学术界，政府和工业界各级研究人员的互动，在分子生物学和基因组学方面提供最先进的研究技术和仪器的培训。学生将有机会在教师导师的监督下研究具体的研究问题，同时培养个人和与同学一起工作的能力。 预计学生将参加所有个人研究项目和团队活动，这些活动将以研究研讨会结束，并在完成计划后跟踪进度所需的调查中结束。 学生应保持记录他们的研究实验的实验室笔记本，并负责任地进行他们的研究。 REU计划将以DSU范围内的学生研究研讨会结束，REU学生将展示海报，并向教师，学生，家人，朋友，高中生和教师展示他们的夏季研究。该计划的学生将从特拉华州技术和社区学院的生物技术课程，卫斯理学院的生物学课程，特拉华州州立大学的生物学，农业和自然资源以及全国其他机构的生物学和相关领域招募。 学生在科学事业和研究REU计划完成后的进展将通过使用一个共同的评估工具进行跟踪。 感兴趣的学生请访问http：//cars.desu.edu/reu，联系项目主任Venu（Kal）Kalavacharla博士（电话：302-857-6492 ;电子邮件：[e-mail]），或者联系特拉华州州立大学的综合生物和环境研究中心（CIBER），多佛，DE 19901，电话：[phone]。
