An award has been made to the University of Arkansas (UA) that will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students, during the summers of 2011- 2013. This REU program focuses on applied biotechnology in the life sciences -- the application of modern molecular technologies to basic and applied research in engineering, biochemistry, biology, and plant or animal agriculture. Training and mentoring is provided by outstanding faculty with diverse research projects within the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Cell and Molecular Biology (http://cemb.uark.edu). Students are expected to engage in full-time lab research supplemented with twice-weekly workshops on topics such as preparation and application for graduate school, responsible conduct of research, professional communication and networking, and career opportunities. REU students will also network with students in other programs on campus. Student recruitment will include campus visits and emails to targeted colleges, and posting of program information at the REU program website. Student selection will be based on academic performance, letters of reference, student resume, and the applicants' statement of research interests and experiences. The program will be assessed using pre- and post-experience surveys of participating students and faculty, tracking of student participants, and an REU common assessment tool. More information is available by visiting the REU program website (http://cemb.uark.edu/REU), or by contacting the PI (Dr. Douglas Rhoads, [e-mail]) or the Director (Shani Farr, [e-mail]).

阿肯色州大学（UA）将在2011- 2013年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该REU计划侧重于生命科学中的应用生物技术-将现代分子技术应用于工程，生物化学，生物学和植物或动物农业的基础和应用研究。 培训和指导由优秀的教师提供，他们在细胞和分子生物学跨学科研究生课程（http：//www.example.com）中开展各种研究项目。cemb.uark.edu预计学生将从事全职实验室研究，并辅以每周两次的研讨会，主题包括研究生院的准备和申请，负责任的研究行为，专业沟通和网络以及职业机会。REU学生还将与校园内其他课程的学生建立联系。学生招聘将包括校园访问和电子邮件到目标学院，并在REU计划网站上发布计划信息。学生的选择将基于学习成绩，推荐信，学生简历，以及申请人的研究兴趣和经验的陈述。该计划将使用参与学生和教师的前和后经验调查，学生参与者的跟踪和REU共同评估工具进行评估。欲了解更多信息，请访问REU项目网站（http：//cemb.uark.edu/REU），或联系PI（道格拉斯·罗兹博士，[e-mail]）或主任（Shani Farr，[e-mail]）。
