REU Site: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Molecular Biosciences

本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖已作出北卡罗来纳州大学在查佩尔山，将提供10名学生的研究培训，为期10周，在2012年至2014年夏季。 该计划侧重于分子生物科学-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许多教师将担任研究导师。 在分子生物科学的前沿各种有趣的项目将提供给学生。 除了在他们选择的研究实验室全职工作，学生将参加专业发展活动，包括在负责任的研究行为，阅读，并从主要的科学文献，海报准备和演示，在学术界，工业和政府的就业机会，研究生院申请过程中，可选的GRE准备课程，写一个有效的个人陈述，有效的面试技巧。 学生将有充分的机会与夏季大学主办的其他课程的学生互动，以及与协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（特别是少数民族学生人数不足的大学）、在ASBMB和SACNAS等全国会议期间以及有针对性的电子邮件招募学生。 参与者的选择是基于GPA，缺乏集中的研究经验，在学生的家庭学院或大学的可用性，研究兴趣，通过个人陈述表明，和感知的潜力，并在生物研究的职业兴趣。 学生被跟踪，以确定他们对学习的学术领域的持续兴趣，他们的职业道路，以及研究经验的持久影响。有关该计划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，或联系主要研究者（Gwen Sancar博士，gsancar@ad.unc.edu）或共同主要研究者（Miriam Braunstein博士，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.
