项目摘要

This REU Site award to The Scripps Research Institute, located in Jupiter, Florida, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. Research at the Scripps Florida integrates cutting edge bioscience research with the development of chemical tools to probe basic biological questions. Students can join several departments, Chemistry, Immunology, Molecular Medicine, Structural Biology, and Neuroscience, where they will find themselves working at the interface between chemistry and biology. The REU experience will provide a diverse group of students with mentored training in scientific research at a top graduate program, professional development opportunities focused around graduate school, including ethics training, and guided training in scientific presentation and writing. These efforts will culminate in a campus-wide poster competition. Participants can be rising Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, and will be selected by participating faculty based on their academic record, letters of reference and a statement of purpose.It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Scripps Florida, as an REU site focused on the biochemical sciences, provides students from diverse backgrounds access to internationally renowned research programs that will foster their interest in science, and provide them with the tools to be successful in graduate school and beyond. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences, or as peer-reviewed publications.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. 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://education.scripps.edu/undergraduate/flreu/, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Katrin Karbstein at kkarbst@scripps.edu) or the program coordinator (Dr. Albarran-Zeckler at rzeckler@scripps.edu). This REU site is co-funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences), and the Division of Chemistry (Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences).

这项授予位于佛罗里达州木星的Scripps研究所的REU网站奖将在2017年至2019年的夏季为10周的10周培训。ScrippsFlorida的研究通过开发化学工具来探讨基本生物学问题。学生可以加入多个部门，化学，免疫学，分子医学，结构生物学和神经科学，在那里他们会发现自己在化学与生物学之间的界面工作。 REU的经验将为一群学生提供多样化的学生在一项顶级研究生课程中进行科学研究的指导培训，专业发展机会集中在研究生院，包括道德培训以及科学演示和写作方面的指导培训。这些努力将在校园范围内的海报比赛中达到顶峰。参与者可以根据他们的学术记录，参考书和目的声明来选择大二学生，大三和大三学生，并可以通过参与教师进行选择。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，该计划将接受该计划的培训。 Scripps Florida是专注于生化科学的REU网站，为来自不同背景的学生提供了获得国际知名的研究计划的访问，这些研究计划将促进他们对科学的兴趣，并为他们提供在研究生院及其他地区取得成功的工具。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上或作为同行评审的出版物中介绍他们的工作结果。所有由生物基础设施部门资助的所有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。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。可以通过访问http://education.scripps.edu/undrgraduate/flreu/或与PI联系（Kkarbst@scripps.edu）或程序协调员（rzeckler@scrippsss.edu）。此REU站点由生物基础设施（生物科学局）和化学局（数学和物理科学局）共同资助。
