This REU Site Award to the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health, located in Albany, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2014-2016. The primary objective of this program is to provide cutting-edge research experiences by networking undergraduate students with each other and with their mentors to gain insight into how modern scientific research is conducted. The Wadsworth Center provides outstanding basic research and graduate education programs paralleling public health activities. Mentors have diverse research interests in molecular genetics, cell biology, structural and computational biology, and the environmental sciences. Applicants will be recruited nationally and students from all majors are eligible to apply. Students can join either a traditional, single-mentored research project, or a collaborative project in which two students are networked to tackle a common research problem. The research program will be supplemented by weekly seminars given by visiting scientists and Wadsworth faculty. In addition, the Wadsworth Site will provide students with a strong background in the ethical conduct of research, career planning, the modern history of science, and a unique perspective on how research is translated to public policy. Candidates will be selected based on personal essay, two letters of recommendation, research interests, and academic performance. Students with limited research opportunities at their home institution and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. All research activities are pursued within a close-knit environment that will provide an uniquely enriching research training opportunity. During the final week, students will present their research at a symposium that will be video-cast throughout Wadsworth and recorded to improve communication skills. Students will also be encouraged to present the results of their work at scientific conferences.Program evaluation will be facilitated by using the Bio REU common assessment survey and the SURE survey. Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic e-mail sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by contacting [e-mail].

纽约州卫生部沃兹沃思中心的REU网站奖将在纽约州奥尔巴尼市，将在2014 - 2016年夏季在10周内培训10个学生。该计划的主要目的是通过彼此交流的本科生以及与他们的导师一起提供尖端的研究经验，以了解如何进行现代科学研究。沃兹沃思中心提供了与公共卫生活动并行的杰出基础研究和研究生教育计划。导师对分子遗传学，细胞生物学，结构和计算生物学以及环境科学具有多种研究兴趣。申请人将在全国范围内招募，所有专业的学生都有资格申请。学生可以加入传统的，单人管理的研究项目，或者一个协作项目，其中两个学生被联网以解决一个共同的研究问题。该研究计划将由访问科学家和沃兹沃思教师提供的每周一次研讨会补充。此外，沃兹沃思（Wadsworth）网站将为学生提供研究，职业规划，现代科学历史的道德行为以及如何将研究转化为公共政策的独特观点。候选人将根据个人论文，两个推荐信，研究兴趣和学习成绩进行选择。鼓励他们在家庭机构的研究机会有限的学生，以及来自代表性不足的团体的学生申请。 在紧密联系的环境中，所有研究活动都将提供一个独特的丰富研究培训机会。在最后一周，学生将在整个Wadsworth进行视频播放的研讨会上介绍他们的研究，并记录以提高沟通技巧。 还将鼓励学生在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。通过使用Beo REU共同评估调查和确定的调查，将促进程序评估。计划后需要跟踪学生，并且必须响应通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。可以通过联系[e-mail]获得更多信息。
