A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Tuskegee University that will provide research training for 10 students, for 10 weeks during the summers of 2013- 2015. The Tuskegee University IBS-REU site offers undergraduates (in the STEM majors, but particularly in Biology, Chemistry, Animal Sciences, Plant and Soil Sciences, Agricultural Economics, and other bioscience majors) a novel approach to conduct research by integrating multiple areas in the biosciences with an emphasis on bioinformatics. We define "integrative biosciences" research as any research where the continued integration of two or more science disciplines is requisite, for example, determining the consequences of genetically-modified sweet potato (Plant Genomics, Plant Sciences) on soil microbial biodiversity (Soil Science, Soil Microbiology, Genetics). Over 30 university faculty will serve as mentors, offering a wide range of interesting and exciting projects for participants. Students are expected to do full-time lab research as well as participate in seminars and career development workshops, such as the ethics and responsible conduct in research, professional communication skills, career opportunities in industry, government and academia, preparing for the GRE and the graduate school application process. REU students have access to a rich array of individual mentor's facilities as well as many labs and centers with core facilities across the Tuskegee University campus. The program's multi-phase recruitment effort consists of both traditional "hard copy" formats as well as digital-based advertising. Students are selected based on academic record, research performance, and potential for outstanding research in integrative biosciences with an emphasis in bioinformatics. 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 available to BIO-funded REU PIs.

塔斯基吉大学获得了本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖，该大学将在2013- 2015年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。塔斯基吉大学IBS-REU网站为本科生（STEM专业，特别是生物学，化学，动物科学，植物和土壤科学，农业经济学和其他生物科学专业）提供了一种新颖的方法，通过整合生物科学中的多个领域进行研究，重点是生物信息学。我们将“综合生物科学”研究定义为任何需要两个或多个科学学科持续整合的研究，例如，确定转基因甘薯（植物基因组学，植物科学）对土壤微生物生物多样性（土壤科学，土壤微生物学，遗传学）的影响。超过30名大学教师将担任导师，为参与者提供各种有趣和令人兴奋的项目。预计学生将做全职实验室研究，以及参加研讨会和职业发展研讨会，如道德和负责任的研究行为，专业沟通技巧，在工业，政府和学术界的职业机会，准备GRE和研究生院申请过程。REU学生可以使用丰富的个人导师设施，以及许多实验室和中心，其核心设施遍布塔斯基吉大学校园。该计划的多阶段招聘工作包括传统的“硬拷贝”格式以及基于数字的广告。学生的选择是基于学习成绩，研究表现和在综合生物科学领域的杰出研究潜力，重点是生物信息学。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方式进行评估，包括使用生物资助的REU PI可用的REU通用评估工具。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.onemedicine.tuskegee.edu/IBS/project/IBS_REU.htm，或联系PI（Olga Bolden-Tiller博士，[e-mail]）或共同PI（Deloris亚历山大博士，[e-mail]）。
