REU Site: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Molecular Biosciences

北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校设立了本科生研究体验(REU)站点奖，将在2012-2014年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该计划专注于分子生物科学--生物化学、遗传学、分子生物学、细胞生物学、基因组学、蛋白质组学以及计算和结构生物学的应用--在高度协作和跨学科的环境中解决生物学中的复杂问题。来自几个相关部门的众多教职员工将担任研究导师。在分子生物科学前沿的各种有趣的项目将为学生提供。除了在他们选择的研究实验室全职工作外，学生还将参与专业发展活动，包括负责进行研究的培训，阅读和展示主要科学文献的报告，海报准备和展示，在学术界、行业和政府的职业机会，研究生院的申请程序，GRE准备选修课程，撰写有效的个人陈述，以及有效的面试技能。在暑假期间，学生们将有足够的机会与该大学举办的其他项目的学生互动，以及与帮助专业发展活动的研究生和博士后研究员互动。通过专门的网站、访问当地大学(特别是那些少数族裔学生人数较少的大学)、在全国会议期间(如ASBMB和SACNAS)和有针对性的电子邮件招收学生。参与者的选择是基于GPA，缺乏在学生所在的学院或大学集中的研究经验，通过个人陈述表明对研究的兴趣，以及对生物研究职业的潜在和兴趣。对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们对学术研究领域的持续兴趣、他们的职业道路以及研究经验的持久影响。关于该方案的信息将通过各种手段进行评估，包括使用REU通用评估工具。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.med.unc.edu/oge/stad/sure，，或联系国际和平组织(Gwen Sancar博士，电子邮件：gkinar@ad.unc.edu)或共同国际组织(Miriam_Braunstein@Med.unc.edu，Miriam_Braunstein博士，电子邮件：miriam_braunstein@med.unc.edu)。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that will provide research training for 10 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2012- 2014. The program focuses on molecular biosciences - the application of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, proteomics, and computational and structural biology - to solve complex problems in biology in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. Numerous faculty from several relevant departments will serve as research mentors. A wide variety of interesting projects at the cutting edge of molecular bioscience will be available for the students. In addition to working full-time in their chosen research labs, students will participate in professional development activities including training in the responsible conduct of research, reading and presenting reports from the primary scientific literature, poster preparation and presentation, career opportunities in academia, industry and government, the graduate school application process, an optional GRE Prep course, writing an effective personal statement, and effective interviewing skills. Students will have ample opportunities to interact with students from additional programs hosted by the university during the summer, as well as with graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who assist in professional development activities. Students are recruited via a dedicated web site, visits to local universities (especially those with a large number of underrepresented minority students), during national meetings such as ASBMB and SACNAS, and targeted e-mails. Selection of participants is based upon GPA, lack of availability of concentrated research experiences at the student's home college or university, interest in research as indicated through a Personal Statement, and perceived potential for, and interest in, a career in biological research. Students are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. Information about the program will be assessed by various means, including use of an REU common assessment tool.
