An award has been made to the Center for Plant Cell Biology (CEPCEB) at the University of California-Riverside (UCR) to provide research training for 10 weeks for 12 students, during the summers of 2010-2014. This award is supported by the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) in the Directorate for Biological Sciences. The scientific focus of the program is on the cellular and molecular biology of plants and plant pathogens. Training will be provided to a broad range of students from both two- and four-year colleges, including those from institutions that offer limited research opportunities and members of groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The program begins with one week of lectures and exercises that introduce the basics of molecular and cell biology, and topics in plant and pathogen biology. Each student then spends nine weeks on an independent research project in a faculty laboratory. Professional skills will be enhanced by a scholarly writing project, a poster session presentation based on the individual student research project, and participation in a seminar series. Students will also attend workshops that address topics such as how to gain admission to graduate school, scientific ethics and the responsible conduct of research, and career options in various science-affiliated fields. Participants will learn to work in a professional environment, gain increased confidence in themselves, and improve their skills in communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The program will be evaluated using a common assessment tool, and the career outcomes of participants will be tracked. Inquiries about the program may be made to Professor Howard Judelson ([e-mail], 951-827-4199) or by visiting the program's web site at: http://genomics.ucr.edu/reu.php.

加利福尼亚大学河滨分校（UCR）植物细胞生物学中心（CEPCEB）获得了一项奖励，在2010-2014年夏季为12名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。 该奖项由生物科学理事会的植物基因组研究计划（PGRP）支持。该计划的科学重点是植物和植物病原体的细胞和分子生物学。 将向来自两年制和四年制学院的各种学生提供培训，包括来自提供有限研究机会的机构的学生和传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的成员。 该计划以一周的讲座和练习开始，介绍分子和细胞生物学的基础知识，以及植物和病原体生物学的主题。 然后，每个学生花九个星期的时间在一个教师实验室的独立研究项目。 专业技能将通过一个学术写作项目，基于个别学生研究项目的海报会议演示，并参加一系列研讨会来提高。 学生还将参加研讨会，讨论如何进入研究生院，科学道德和负责任的研究行为，以及各种科学相关领域的职业选择等主题。 参与者将学习在专业环境中工作，增强自信心，提高沟通，批判性思维和解决问题的能力。 该计划将使用一个共同的评估工具进行评估，并跟踪参与者的职业成果。 有关该计划的查询可向霍华德·朱德森教授（howard.judelson@ ucr.edu，951-827-4199）或访问该计划的网站：http://genomics.ucr.edu/reu.php。
