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.

该项目由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。综合生物科学夏季研究计划（IBS -SRP）由威斯康星大学生物学教育研究所（Madison）主持，并为有兴趣探索研究生院和研究生职业的本科生提供密集的10周研究培训经验。 IBS-SRP是一个大型REU计划，其中包括八个较小的学科学习社区：生物化学和生物物理学；生物能源；细胞和分子生物学；计算生物学与生物统计学；生态，植物和环境系统；分子和环境毒理学；神经生物学；和病毒学。每个学生都属于这些学科学习社区之一，并与该领域的教师导师一起进行独立的研究项目。此外，为学生提供补充指导和专家建议的教职员工领导每个学科社区。期望学生进行全日制研究，并参加所有计划活动。计划研讨会和研讨会着重于五个核心生物科学概念：进化；能量和物质的途径和转变；信息流，交换和存储；结构和功能；系统。此外，还提供了有关科学写作和演讲技巧的专业发展研讨会，研究生院的准备，生物科学研究职业机会和道德以及负责任的研究行为。每个学生在计划开始时都会创建一张研究建议海报，最后写一篇最后一篇论文，并在最后的研讨会上进行口头介绍。该计划的影响是使用各种手段进行评估的，包括在线REU共同评估工具。根据他们的学术记录以及他们对研究生院的成功和兴趣的潜力和研究职业的潜力。来自低收入家庭，第一代大学生或参加有限研究机会的小型文科学院的学生，来自低收入家庭的学生，第一代大学生或参加研究机会有限的小学的学生，特别鼓励来自族裔的学生。有关更多信息，请访问程序网站（http://cbe.wisc.edu/srp-bio/index.html），或联系PI（[e-mail]）或Co-pi（Janet Branchaw博士）或CO-PI（Dawassarman@[e-mail]）。
