Collaborative Research: PoLS Student Research Network

该合作奖将支持生命系统物理学研究生研究网络的形成，这是一个跨机构的基于社区的研究生和研究生教育工作者网络，他们都在研究生命系统的物理学。最初的参与机构是加州大学圣地亚哥分校（将协调该计划）、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校、普林斯顿大学、耶鲁大学、剑桥大学和伦敦大学学院。网络结构将允许参与机构的学生（以及选定数量的其他学生）与他们的同龄人（面对面和在计算机上）会面，并共同帮助确定该领域的研究议程。它还将允许创建访问实习，这将作为拓宽学生对困难研究课题的可能方法的看法的一种方式，并作为在不同地点的小组之间建立合作关系的一种方式。这种结构也将有助于探索各种教育这些学生生物学的方法，同时也确保他们在物理方面发展和保持坚实的基础。该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会物理部的生命系统物理学项目、生物科学理事会的分子和细胞生物科学以及国际科学与工程办公室提供支持。

This collaborative award will support formation of a Physics of Living Systems Graduate Student Research Network, a trans-institutional community-based network of graduate students and graduate student educators all working on the physics of living systems. The initial participating institutions are the University of California, San Diego (which will coordinate the program), the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Princeton University, Yale University, Cambridge University, and University College, London. The network structure will allow students at participating institutions (and a select number of other students) to meet their peers (both in-person and in-silico) and collectively help define the research agenda for this field. It will also allow for the creation of visiting internships, which will serve both as a way of broadening students perspectives on possible approaches to difficult research topics and as a way of creating collaborative ties between groups at the various sites. This structure will also enable the exploration of various means of educating these students in biology, while also ensuring that they develop and maintain a firm grounding in physics. This award is supported by the Physics of Livings Systems Program in the Physics Division in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, as well as Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Directorate for Biological Sciences, and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
