This REU Site award to San Jose University, located in San Jose, CA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. The REU program will focus on the theme of molecular biology applications in biological research. Nine faculty members with expertise in the areas of neuroscience, genetics, molecular environmental microbiology, biochemistry, and cell & molecular biology will mentor REU students. Aside from the research projects, students will participate in: (1) professional development activities, (2) the creation of individual development plans (IDP), (3) journal clubs to discuss relevant papers in the field, (4) ethics and the responsible conduct of research training, and (5) weekly research meetings where the entire cohort and their faculty mentors meet to discuss research progress. The ethics training is a shared experience with the BIO REU sites at San Francisco State University and the University of California at Berkeley. An on-line application is due the first Friday of March. Ten students will be selected each year based on their application and a phone interview. Notification of finalists happens on the third week of March. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Rising sophomore and junior students are encouraged to apply. At the end of 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 Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. In addition to a final research paper, students will do poster and oral presentations to present the results of their research. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting http://www.biology.sjsu.edu/rumba/NSF-REU_RUMBA/Welcome.html, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Soto at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Miri VanHoven at [e-mail]).

这项授予位于加利福尼亚州圣何塞的圣何塞大学的REU网站奖将在2017年至2019年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。REU计划将重点介绍生物学研究中分子生物学应用的主题。在神经科学，遗传学，分子环境微生物学，生物化学以及细胞和分子生物学领域具有专业知识的九名教职员工将指导REU学生。除研究项目外，学生还将参与：（1）专业发展活动，（2）创建个人发展计划（IDP），（3​​）期刊俱乐部讨论该领域的相关论文，（4）道德和负责任的研究培训的行为，以及（5）每周的研究会议，整个研究会议及其教师及其教职员工与讨论研究进展。 道德培训是与旧金山州立大学的生物REU网站和加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的共同经验。 3月的第一个星期五，将在线申请。 每年将根据他们的申请和电话采访选择十名学生。决赛入围者的通知发生在3月的第三周。 预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。鼓励大二学生和初中生申请。 在计划结束时，学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU网站计划使用的常见基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。 除了最终的研究论文外，学生还将进行海报和口头演讲，以介绍他们的研究结果。计划后将跟踪学生，以确定自己的职业道路。将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问http://www.biology.sjsu.edu/rumba/rumba/nsf-reu_rumba/welcome.html，或通过与PI联系（julio.soto@[e-mail]）或co-pi（miri vanhhhhhhhhhhhhri atiri atiri at miri vanhri [e-mail]）
