An award has been made to Colorado State University to continue an REU Site program that will provide research training for ten undergraduates for 10 weeks, during the summers of 2012-2014. Students will participate in a program that exposes them to a broad range of research areas and approaches in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students will work with mentors from College of Natural Sciences (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). Students will be involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results in the context of the hypothesis, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Interactions with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professional research staff provide a mechanism for learning about the latest advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students will present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students will engage in activities that will enhance their knowledge of the environment such as an educational hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation, the ethical conduct of research, and scientific careers are also planned. The program will use the BIO REU Sites common assessment tool to obtain feedback and assessment data for improving the program. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply.

科罗拉多州立大学已获得一项奖励，继续执行REU网站计划，该计划将在2012-2014年夏季为10名本科生提供为期10周的研究培训。学生将参加一个项目，使他们接触到生物化学和分子生物学的广泛研究领域和方法。学生将与自然科学学院（生物化学和分子生物学）的导师合作。学生将参与自己的研究项目，在那里他们学习如何制定和测试假设，设计和执行实验，在假设的背景下分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。与教师，研究生，博士后研究员和专业研究人员的互动提供了一个了解生物化学和分子生物学最新进展的机制。学生可获得助学金、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住房、膳食津贴和往返学校的交通津贴。在课程结束时，学生将口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式制作最终报告。除了研究之外，学生还将参加能够增强他们对环境知识的活动，例如在落基山国家公园进行教育徒步旅行。还计划到附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办有关GRE准备、研究道德行为和科学职业的研讨会。该计划将使用BIO REU研究中心通用评估工具来获取反馈和评估数据，以改进该计划。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学代表性不足的群体的学生申请。欲了解更多信息，学生可访问http：//www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm，或联系伊冯布里奇曼在970-491-5602或[e-mail]，或项目主任，保罗莱伯恩，在970-491-5100或保罗。
