REU Site: Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP)

该项目由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。综合生物科学暑期研究项目(IBS-SRP)由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校生物教育研究所主办，为对研究生院和研究职业感兴趣的本科生提供为期10周的强化研究培训体验。IBS-SRP是一个大型REU项目，包括八个较小的学科学习社区：生物化学与生物物理学；生物能源；细胞与分子生物学；计算生物学与生物统计学；生态学、植物与环境系统；分子与环境毒理学；神经生物学；以及病毒学。每个学生都属于这些学科学习社区中的一个，并在该领域的教师导师的指导下进行独立的研究项目。此外，一名教员为学生提供补充指导和专家建议，领导每个学科社区。学生需要做全日制研究，并参加所有项目活动。方案研讨会和研讨会侧重于五个核心生物科学概念：进化论；能量和物质的路径和转换；信息流、交换和存储；结构和功能；系统。此外，还提供了关于科学写作和陈述技能、研究生院准备、生物科学研究职业机会和道德以及负责任的研究行为的专业发展讲习班。每个学生在项目开始时制作一张研究提案海报，在最后写一篇期末论文，并在期末专题讨论会上做口头陈述。该方案的影响是通过各种手段进行评估的，其中包括一个在线区域经济联盟共同评估工具。学生是根据他们的学业成绩和他们取得成功的潜力以及对研究生院和研究职业的兴趣而被挑选出来的。特别鼓励那些在生物科学研究中代表性不足的学生、来自低收入家庭的学生、第一代大学生，或者那些就读于研究机会有限的小型文科院校的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问该计划的网站(http://cbe.wisc.edu/srp-bio/index.html)，)，或联系国际和平组织(Janet Branchaw博士，电子邮件：branchaw@wic.edu)或联合国际组织(David Wassarman博士，电子邮件：dawassarman@wic.edu)。

This project is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP) is hosted by the Institute for Biology Education at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and provides intensive 10 week research training experiences for undergraduate students interested in exploring graduate school and careers in research. The IBS-SRP is a large REU program that includes eight smaller disciplinary learning communities: Biochemistry & Biophysics; Bioenergy; Cellular & Molecular Biology; Computational Biology & Biostatistics; Ecology, Plants & Environmental Systems; Molecular & Environmental Toxicology; Neurobiology; and Virology. Each student belongs to one of these disciplinary learning communities and conducts an independent research project with a faculty mentor in that area. In addition, a faculty member, who provides complementary mentoring and expert advice to students, leads each disciplinary community. Students are expected to do full-time research as well as participate in all program activities. Program seminars and workshops focus on five core biological sciences concepts: evolution; pathways and transformation of energy and matter; information flow, exchange and storage; structure and function; systems. In addition, professional development workshops on scientific writing and presentation skills, preparation for graduate school, biological sciences research career opportunities and ethics and the responsible conduct of research are offered. Each student creates a research proposal poster at the beginning of the program, writes a final paper at the end, and gives an oral presentation at a final symposium. The impact of the program is assessed using various means, including an online REU common assessment tool. Students are selected for participation based on their academic record and their potential for success and interest in graduate school and a career in research. Students who are from ethnic groups underrepresented in biological sciences research, from low-income homes, first-generation college students, or those who attend small liberal arts colleges with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.
