This award, made to the University of Kentucky, is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE program and the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) and the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). The University of Kentucky will provide research training for 10 weeks for 8 students, during the summers of 2010-2013. Students will complete an intensive ten week program in the biochemical sciences, participating in cutting-edge research in structural biology, biophysics, molecular biology and genetics, and cell biology. All participants will be assigned a faculty mentor and are expected to conduct their research in an ethical and responsible manner. The Program includes seminar series on careers in the biochemical sciences and the research process, including presentation and publication of data, and research ethics. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a number of organized social events. The Program will culminate in a widely-attended symposium featuring oral research presentations by participants. Recruitment is focused on the students from the Appalachian area and under-represented groups. Successful applicants will receive a stipend, housing in student dormitories, and reimbursement for travel to and from Lexington, Kentucky. Success will be tracked through surveys of participants both during and in the years after attending the Program. Assessment will involve use of a common tool developed by the NSF BIO REU and tools developed by the Program. Additional information and application materials can be found at http://www.mc.uky.edu/Biochemistry/REU/, or by contacting the Program Director, Dr. Trevor Creamer, at [e-mail] or 859-323-6037.

该奖项授予肯塔基州大学，由国防部ASSURE计划和生物科学局（BIO）和化学部（CHE）以及数学和物理科学局（MPS）的NSF生物基础设施部提供支持。肯塔基州大学将在2010-2013年夏季为8名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。学生将完成为期十周的生物化学强化课程，参与结构生物学，生物物理学，分子生物学和遗传学以及细胞生物学的前沿研究。所有参与者都将被分配一名教师导师，并以道德和负责任的方式进行研究。该计划包括关于生物化学科学和研究过程中的职业生涯的系列研讨会，包括数据的介绍和出版以及研究伦理。与会者还将有机会参加一些有组织的社会活动。该计划将在一个广泛参加的研讨会上达到高潮，研讨会的特点是与会者的口头研究报告。招聘的重点是来自阿巴拉契亚地区和代表性不足的群体的学生。成功的申请者将获得助学金，住宿在学生宿舍，并报销往返肯塔基州列克星敦的旅费。成功将通过参与者在参加该计划期间和之后几年的调查来跟踪。评估将涉及使用NSF BIO REU开发的通用工具和该计划开发的工具。其他信息和申请材料可在http：//www.mc.uky.edu/Biochemistry/REU/上找到，或联系项目总监特雷弗·克里默博士，地址是特雷弗·克里默@ uky.edu或859-323-6037。
