An REU Site award has been made to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in partnership with the Desert Research Institute. The award will allow the institution to provide research training for 12 students in a ten-week summer program, beginning 2011 through 2013. At least three students will participate in an international collaborative research program between the School of Life Sciences and Tongji University (Shanghai). The aim of the REU program is to engage students in challenging, stimulating and formative research projects that combine the fields of molecular biology and microbiology, in order to address current questions in environmental science, ecology and evolution. The environment of the southwest provides an excellent study in environmental microbiology, with the presence of hot springs and transient water systems, and the environmental stress that microbes are exposed to. In addition to the research training, students will participate in enrichment activities that will prepare them for future careers in science. Activities are scheduled weekly during the entire program, which include sessions on research design and analysis, report writing and presentation, ethics and the responsible conduct of research, and effective scientific communication. The recruitment strategy includes effective ways to reach out to all undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented groups. Student participants will conduct their research under the supportive supervision of faculty mentors. At the end of the program, students will complete a written research paper and make an oral presentation of their work at the undergraduate research symposium. The program will use an online assessment tool for evaluating the success of the program.

与沙漠研究所合作，拉斯维加斯的内华达州大学获得了REU网站奖。 该奖项将允许该机构提供为期十周的暑期课程，从2011年到2013年12名学生的研究培训。至少有三名学生将参加生命科学学院和同济大学（上海）之间的国际合作研究项目。REU计划的目的是让学生参与具有挑战性，刺激性和形成性的研究项目，这些项目将分子生物学和微生物学领域联合收割机结合起来，以解决环境科学，生态学和进化中的当前问题。 西南部的环境为环境微生物学提供了很好的研究，温泉和瞬变水系统的存在，以及微生物暴露的环境压力。除了研究培训，学生将参加丰富的活动，这将为他们在科学未来的职业生涯做好准备。在整个计划期间，活动每周安排一次，其中包括研究设计和分析，报告撰写和演示，道德和负责任的研究行为以及有效的科学交流。招聘战略包括接触所有本科生的有效方法，特别是那些代表性不足的群体。学生参与者将在教师导师的支持监督下进行研究。在课程结束时，学生将完成一份书面研究论文，并在本科生研究研讨会上口头介绍他们的工作。该计划将使用在线评估工具来评估该计划的成功。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//sols.unlv.edu/reu_main.html，或联系Kurt Regner（kurt.
