项目摘要

This REU Site award to The University of Iowa, located in Iowa City, IA, will support the training of 8 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2016-2018. The scientific focus of the research program is microbiology. Each student will conduct an independent laboratory research project under the guidance of a faculty and a graduate student co-mentor from the Department of Microbiology. Lectures, workshops and cohort-building activities will promote professional development, familiarize students with graduate school and career options, and provide training in responsible conduct of research. Students will present their findings at a University-wide symposium and at regional and national meetings. The program is open to undergraduates who are interested in scientific research and are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Recruitment will use both traditional mailings and various forms of electronic outreach. Special emphasis will be given to recruitment of students from demographic groups that are underrepresented in the sciences and/or students from small colleges (including community colleges) where opportunities for research are lacking. Students will be selected based on academic record, letters of recommendation and potential for outstanding research in the biological sciences. Post-program mentoring will promote retention of students in the sciences, while tracking will assess the lasting influences of the research experience.It is anticipated that a total of 24 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.A 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 determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine student career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.

这项授予爱荷华州爱荷华市爱荷华大学的REU Site奖将支持2016-2018年夏季为期10周的8名学生的培训。该研究计划的科学重点是微生物学。每个学生将在微生物学系一名教师和一名研究生共同导师的指导下进行独立的实验室研究项目。讲座、讲习班和群体建设活动将促进专业发展，使学生熟悉研究生院和职业选择，并提供负责任地进行研究的培训。学生们将在大学范围内的研讨会以及地区和国家会议上展示他们的发现。该项目向对科学研究感兴趣的本科生开放，他们是美国公民或永久居民。招聘将使用传统邮寄和各种形式的电子外联。将特别重视从科学界代表性不足的人口群体招收学生和/或从缺乏研究机会的小型学院(包括社区学院)招收学生。学生将根据学业成绩、推荐信和在生物科学领域的杰出研究潜力进行挑选。项目后辅导将促进学生在科学领域的留存，而跟踪将评估研究经验的持久影响。预计总共将有24名学生在该项目中接受培训，主要来自研究机会有限的学校。学生将学习研究是如何进行的，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。由生物基础设施部(生物科学局)资助的所有REU项目都将使用一个通用的基于网络的评估工具来确定培训计划的有效性。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定学生的职业道路。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多有关该计划的信息，请访问http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/microbiology/summer/，，或联系PI(David-Weiss@uiowa.edu)或联席PI(Linda McCarter博士，Linda-McCarter@uiowa.edu)。
