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计划共同资助。综合生物科学暑期研究计划（IBS-SRP）由威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学生物教育研究所主办，为有兴趣探索研究生院和研究职业的本科生提供为期10周的密集研究培训体验。IBS-SRP是一个大型REU计划，包括八个较小的学科学习社区：生物化学生物物理学;生物能源;细胞分子生物学;计算生物学生物统计学;生态学，植物环境系统;分子环境毒理学;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进行独立的研究项目。此外，一名教师，谁提供互补的指导和专家意见，以学生，导致每个学科社区。预计学生将做全职研究以及参与所有计划活动。课程研讨会和讲习班侧重于五个核心生物科学概念：进化;能量和物质的途径和转化;信息流，交换和存储;结构和功能;系统。此外，还提供关于科学写作和演讲技巧、研究生院准备、生物科学研究职业机会和道德以及负责任地进行研究的专业发展讲习班。每个学生在课程开始时创建一个研究提案海报，在最后写一篇论文，并在最后的研讨会上做口头报告。该方案的影响通过各种手段进行评估，包括在线REU共同评估工具。根据学生的学习成绩和他们在研究生院和研究职业中的成功和兴趣潜力，选择学生参加。特别鼓励来自生物科学研究代表性不足的少数民族，来自低收入家庭，第一代大学生或参加研究机会有限的小型文理学院的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问项目网站（http：//cbe.wisc.edu/srp-bio/index.html），或联系主要研究者（Janet Branchaw博士，[e-mail]）或共同主要研究者（大卫瓦萨尔曼博士，[e-mail]）。
