This award, made to Johns Hopkins University, is supported by the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences. Johns Hopkins University will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students for summers 2010-2012. The organizing scientific theme for this intense and immersive research program is the application of imaging and structural techniques to achieve better understanding of biological systems. In the course of pursuing a research project, students will be exposed to reading scientific literature, designing experiments and controls, learning various experimental techniques, and collecting and analyzing data. In addition, students will engage in activities designed to improve oral and written communication skills as they build a sense of community. Students will be instructed in research ethics and the responsible conduct of research and will be expected to conduct their research accordingly. Participants will be recruited nationally through the NSF REU website, informational booths at SACNAS and ABRCMS meetings, and contacts at various institutions across the country and in US territories, in addition to the program website. Students having limited research opportunities at their home institutions, or belonging to groups underrepresented in academics will be especially encouraged to apply. Selection will be based on recommendation letters, grades, and a statement of career goals. Following the program, participants will be contacted annually to determine their progress toward a degree, their career plans, and enrollment in graduate or professional school. Outcomes of the program will be determined using an NSF-supported assessment tool. Information about the program may be obtained from the director, Joel Schildbach (phone: [phone]; e-mail: [e-mail]), or at the program web site (http://www.bio.jhu.edu/sure).

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会生物科学理事会资助，授予约翰霍普金斯大学。约翰霍普金斯大学将在2010-2012年暑期为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。组织科学主题为这个激烈的和沉浸式的研究计划是成像和结构技术的应用，以实现更好地理解生物系统。在进行研究项目的过程中，学生将接触到阅读科学文献，设计实验和控制，学习各种实验技术，收集和分析数据。此外，学生将参与旨在提高口头和书面沟通能力的活动，因为他们建立了社区意识。学生将接受研究伦理和负责任的研究行为方面的指导，并将据此进行研究。除项目网站外，还将通过NSF REU网站、SACNAS和ABRCMS会议上的信息展台、全国各地和美国各机构的联系方式在全国范围内招募参与者。特别鼓励在本国机构研究机会有限的学生，或属于学术界代表性不足的群体的学生申请。选择将基于推荐信，成绩和职业目标的声明。在课程结束后，参与者将每年联系一次，以确定他们在学位、职业规划和研究生或专业学校的入学情况方面的进展。该计划的结果将使用nsf支持的评估工具来确定。有关该计划的信息可从主任Joel Schildbach（电话：410-516-0176；电子邮件：[e-mail]）或计划网站（http://www.bio.jhu.edu/sure）获得。
