REU Site: Visualization of Macromolecules in Biological Research

约翰霍普金斯大学获得了本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖，该大学将在2013-2017年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。 这个紧张和沉浸式研究计划的组织科学主题是应用成像和结构技术来更好地了解生物系统。 在追求研究项目的过程中，学生将接触到阅读科学文献，设计实验和控制，学习各种实验技术，收集和分析数据。 此外，学生将参与旨在提高口头和书面沟通能力的活动，因为他们建立了社区意识。 学生将被指示在研究的负责任的行为，并将有望相应地进行他们的研究。 参与者将通过NSF REU网站，SACNAS和ABRCMS会议的信息亭，以及全国各地和美国领土上的各种机构的联系人在全国范围内招募。 学生在他们的家乡机构研究机会有限，或属于学术界代表性不足的群体将特别鼓励申请。 选择将基于推荐信，成绩，研究兴趣和职业目标的声明。 在该计划之后，参与者将每年联系一次，以确定他们的学位进度，职业规划以及研究生或专业学校的入学情况。 该计划的结果将使用一个共同的评估工具来确定。 有关该计划的信息可从主任Joel Schildbach（电话：410-516-0176;电子邮件：joel@jhu.edu）或该计划的网站（http：//www.bio.jhu.edu/BioREU）获得。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Johns Hopkins University that will provide research training for 10 weeks for 10 students for summers 2013-2017. The organizing scientific theme for this intense and immersive research program is the application of imaging and structural techniques to achieve better understanding of biological systems. In the course of pursuing a research project, students will be exposed to reading scientific literature, designing experiments and controls, learning various experimental techniques, and collecting and analyzing data. In addition, students will engage in activities designed to improve oral and written communication skills as they build a sense of community. Students will be instructed in the responsible conduct of research and will be expected to conduct their research accordingly. Participants will be recruited nationally through the NSF REU website, informational booths at SACNAS and ABRCMS meetings, and contacts at various institutions across the country and in US territories, in addition to the program website. Students having limited research opportunities at their home institutions, or belonging to groups underrepresented in academics will be especially encouraged to apply. Selection will be based on recommendation letters, grades, and statements of research interest and career goals. Following the program, participants will be contacted annually to determine their progress toward a degree, their career plans, and enrollment in graduate or professional school. Outcomes of the program will be determined using a common assessment tool. Information about the program may be obtained from the director, Joel Schildbach (phone: 410-516-0176; e-mail: joel@jhu.edu), or at the program web site (http://www.bio.jhu.edu/BioREU).
