Intellectual Merit:The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) began explicitly including undergraduate research in their national meetings, with an undergraduate poster competition over fourteen years ago. Four years ago, with previous funding from NSF, this program was expanded to include an undergraduate and Primary Undergraduate Institution (PUI) faculty oral session. In the past three years, instead of an exclusive undergraduate research session, undergraduate students and faculty from PUIs have been integrated into the main scientific sessions, which have resulted in broader exposure of their work to a much larger audience. The goal of this proposal is for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to increase the visibility of high quality, outcome-oriented undergraduate research in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. To do this, the Education and Professional Development Committee (EPD) of ASBMB, in collaboration with the Undergraduate Affiliates Network Committee (UAN) will organize the following at their national meeting in each of the next two years:* Select six faculty members+ per year, from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), to present their research in platform sessions at the annual national ASBMB meeting.* Select three undergraduates per year to present their research in platform sessions at the national ASBMB meeting and facilitation of maximal scientific understanding by undergraduates of sessions they attend.The location of the two events will be San Diego, CA for April 21-25, 2012 and Boston, MA in April 20-24, 2013.Broader Impacts:The award will contribute to the professional development of the PUI faculty involved by providing them the opportunity to keep current with cutting edge science and allowing them to present their research and obtain feedback. The meeting will also enhance the science education of the undergraduates involved by increasing their knowledge and enhancing their oral communication skills. In addition, ASBMB will work to have a balance of underrepresented students and faculty represented at the two meetings. The ASBMB's track record in this area is strong with 54-71% of those invited, within the years 2007-2010, being women or underrepresented minorities.

学术成就：美国生物化学与分子生物学学会（ASBMB）在14年前开始明确将本科生研究纳入其全国会议，并举办了本科生海报竞赛。四年前，与以前的资金从NSF，这个计划扩大到包括本科和小学本科院校（PUI）教师口头会议。在过去的三年里，而不是一个独家的本科研究会议，从PUI的本科生和教师已被整合到主要的科学会议，这导致了他们的工作更广泛的曝光给更大的观众。该提案的目标是美国生物化学和分子生物学学会提高生物化学和分子生物学领域高质量、以结果为导向的本科生研究的知名度。 要做到这一点，ASBMB的教育和专业发展委员会（EPD），与本科附属网络委员会（UAN）合作，将在未来两年的每年全国会议上组织以下活动：* 每年选择六名教师+，主要来自本科院校（PUI），在年度全国ASBMB会议上展示他们的平台会议研究。每年选择三名本科生在全国ASBMB会议的平台会议上介绍他们的研究，并促进他们参加的会议的本科生最大的科学理解。这两个活动的地点将分别为2012年4月21日至25日的加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥和2013年4月20日至24日的马萨诸塞州波士顿。该奖项将有助于PUI教师的专业发展，为他们提供与前沿科学保持同步的机会，并允许他们展示自己的研究成果，反馈会议亦会加强参与的本科生的科学教育，增加他们的知识和提高他们的口头沟通技巧。此外，ASBMB将努力使代表性不足的学生和教师在两次会议上取得平衡。该委员会在这一领域的业绩良好，在2007-2010年期间，54-71%的受邀者是妇女或代表性不足的少数群体。
