REU Site: Molecular Biosciences at the University of Oregon

这个REU网站奖给俄勒冈州的大学，在尤金，或，将支持10名学生在2015年至2017年的夏天10周的培训。REU为实习生提供了丰富的积极学习环境中密切指导的前沿研究项目。学生实习生接受方法，演示，批判性思维和实验设计的研究培训。REU网站的科学重点是分子生物科学。研究领域包括分子生物学、生物化学、分子神经科学、分子进化、微生物学、发育生物学、基因组学、结构生物学、生物物理学、生物信息学、分子遗传学、细胞生物学和计算生物学。该计划的特点包括负责任的研究行为，研究生院咨询，口头和书面科学沟通，访问，处理和评估科学文献，以及研究成果的非正式和正式演示培训。每周的专业发展研讨会，研究小组讨论，教师研讨会，口头和书面进度报告提供研究生院和研究职业生涯的严格准备。提供与各级活跃研究人员的专业和社会互动。定向、招聘和选拔战略的重点是获得研究机会有限的学生、代表性不足群体中的少数民族学生、处境不利的学生和残疾学生。选拔过程涉及所有参与的教师。在线申请信息可在下面列出的程序网站。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，所有实习生都将参加并在国家专业会议上介绍研究结果。该计划旨在提高研究界下一代生命科学家的多样性和才能，并为后代培养榜样。由生物基础设施司（生物科学局）资助的所有REU计划使用的一种基于网络的通用评估工具将用于评估培训计划的有效性。所有实习生都同意在项目结束后接受跟踪，并且必须回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://uoreu.uoregon.edu或联系PI（Peter O'Day博士，网址：oday@uoregon.edu）。

This REU Site award to the University of Oregon, in Eugene, OR, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2015-2017. The REU provides closely mentored cutting edge research projects in a rich active learning environment for interns. Student interns receive research training in methodologies, presentation, critical thinking, and experimental design. The scientific focus of the REU Site is in molecular biosciences. Research areas include molecular biology, biochemistry, molecular neuroscience, molecular evolution, microbiology, developmental biology, genomics, structural biology & biophysics, bioinformatics, molecular genetics, cell biology, and computational biology. Program features include training in responsible conduct of research, graduate school counseling, training in oral and written scientific communication, accessing, processing, and evaluating scientific literature, and informal and formal presentation of research outcomes. Weekly professional development workshops, research group discussions, faculty seminars, and oral and written progress reports provide rigorous preparation for graduate school and careers in research. Professional and social interactions with active researchers at all levels are offered. Targeting, recruiting and selection strategies focus on students having limited access to research opportunities, minority students from underrepresented groups, disadvantaged students, and those with disabilities. The selection process involves all participating faculty. Online application information is available at the program website listed below. 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 all interns are expected to attend and present findings at national professional conferences. The program aims to enhance the diversity and talent of the next generation of life scientists in the research community and train role models for further generationsA common web-based assessment tool used by all REU programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences) will be used to assess the effectiveness of the training program. All interns agree to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
