An award made to the Wadsworth Center will provide 10 weeks of research training for 10 undergraduate students, during the summers of 2011 - 2013. The training program focuses on collaborative networked approaches for undergraduate research in molecular genetics, cell biology, structural and computational biology, and neuroscience. The Center has more than 20 mentors guiding REU students in specifically designed, state-of-the-art collaborative research projects. The students will tackle the networked research projects in teams consisting of one fellow REU student, two individual mentors, as well as graduate students, postdocs, and other scholars in their laboratories. Students will perform full-time lab research and be introduced to exciting new research topics through a seminar series. They will also participate in training workshops that cover topics such as the responsible conduct of research, professional development and communication skills, and career opportunities in government, industry, and academia. Extensive national outreach efforts, combined with focused outreach to CSTEP programs at regional New York State community colleges, will ensure participation of underserved student populations. Student selection will be based on academic record, expressed interest in research, and potential for continued success in the biological sciences. The program will be assessed by various means, including use of the REU web-based common assessment tool, and participants will be tracked for the influence of the research experience in their academic field of study and career paths.

沃兹沃斯中心将在2011 - 2013年夏季为10名本科生提供10周的研究培训。该培训计划侧重于分子遗传学，细胞生物学，结构和计算生物学以及神经科学的本科研究的协作网络方法。该中心有20多名导师指导REU学生进行专门设计的最先进的合作研究项目。学生们将在由一名REU学生，两名个人导师以及研究生，博士后和其他学者组成的团队中解决网络研究项目。学生将进行全职实验室研究，并通过系列研讨会介绍令人兴奋的新研究课题。他们还将参加培训讲习班，涵盖的主题包括负责任地进行研究，专业发展和沟通技能，以及在政府，工业和学术界的职业机会。广泛的全国性外联工作，加上在区域纽约州社区学院对CSTEP方案的重点外联，将确保服务不足的学生群体的参与。学生的选择将基于学习成绩，对研究的兴趣，以及在生物科学领域继续取得成功的潜力。该计划将通过各种手段进行评估，包括使用基于网络的通用评估工具，并将跟踪参与者的研究经验在他们的学术研究领域和职业道路的影响。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//www.wadsworth.org/REU，或通过reu@沃兹沃斯. org联系PI、Sam鲍泽博士或项目总监（Keithly博士）。
