This REU Site award to Colorado State University, located in Fort Collins, CO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2015- 2017. Students will participate in a program that exposes them to a broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology. Students will be involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students will present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students will engage in activities that will enhance their knowledge of the environment such as an educational hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation, ethical conduct of research and scientific careers are also planned. The program will use the BIO REU Sites common assessment tool to obtain feedback and assessment data for improving our REU program and all REU programs. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences.Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.

Shing Ho at [e-mail]), or Stasi Brazil-Engleman at 970-491-5602 or [e-mail].

这个REU网站奖给科罗拉多州立大学，位于柯林斯堡，CO，将支持10名学生在2015年至2017年夏季10周的培训。学生将参加一个计划，使他们接触到广泛的研究领域和方法，构成了生物化学和分子生物学的现代学科。学生将参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和测试假设，设计和执行实验，分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。学生可获得助学金、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住房、膳食津贴和往返学校的交通津贴。在课程结束时，学生将口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式制作最终报告。除了研究之外，学生还将参加能够增强他们对环境知识的活动，例如在落基山国家公园进行教育徒步旅行。还计划对附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办关于GRE准备、研究道德行为和科学职业的研讨会。该计划将使用BIO REU研究中心通用评估工具来获取反馈和评估数据，以改进我们的REU计划和所有REU计划。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学代表性不足的群体的学生申请。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该方案中接受培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。学生需要在课程结束后进行跟踪，并必须通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http：//www.bmb.colostate.edu/undergraduates/reu/program-programtion/，或联系主要研究者（Paul Laybourn博士，电子邮件地址：Paul. colostate.edu）、共同主要研究者（P.
