REU Site Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Summer

项目摘要

This REU Site award to Marquette University, located in Milwaukee, WI, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. Students will choose from a variety of research projects working with faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences. Projects will address biological questions in a range of diverse model systems using cellular, molecular, genetic, and structural techniques. Students will learn to read the scientific literature and develop communication skills through weekly journal clubs, laboratory group meetings, and research discussions. Students will also participate in workshops on responsible research conduct, career opportunities, and the graduate school application process. Students will present their findings at both a poster session and research symposium. Networking activities will be interwoven throughout the program to promote a sense of community among faculty, and the REU participants. Students are selected based on their interest in research, academic record, and phone interviews with potential faculty mentors. Members of underrepresented minority groups and students from colleges with limited research opportunities 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. Together, the research and associated activities of this program are expected to increase retention of participating students in STEM disciplines and increase diversity of the nation's scientific workforce. More immediately, the results of the research will be shared with the Marquette community, the students' home institutions and the broader scientific community. 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 (SALG URSSA) 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://www.marquette.edu/biology/srp.shtml or by contacting the PI (Dr. Allison Abbott at allison.abbott@marquette.edu) or the co-PI (Dr. Edward Blumenthal at edward.blumenthal@marquette.edu).

这个REU网站奖给马奎特大学，位于密尔沃基，威斯康星州，将支持10名学生在2017年至2019年的夏天10周的培训。学生将从与生物科学系教师合作的各种研究项目中进行选择。项目将利用细胞、分子、遗传和结构技术在一系列不同的模型系统中解决生物学问题。学生将学习阅读科学文献，并通过每周的期刊俱乐部，实验室小组会议和研究讨论发展沟通技巧。学生还将参加关于负责任的研究行为，职业机会和研究生院申请过程的研讨会。学生将在海报会议和研究研讨会上展示他们的发现。网络活动将交织在整个计划，以促进教师之间的社区意识，和REU参与者。学生是根据他们对研究的兴趣，学习成绩和与潜在教师导师的电话面试来选择的。特别鼓励代表性不足的少数群体成员和来自研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。预计共有30名学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。该计划的研究和相关活动预计将增加参与STEM学科的学生的保留率，并增加国家科学劳动力的多样性。更直接的是，研究结果将与马奎特社区，学生的家庭机构和更广泛的科学界分享。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。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU研究中心项目使用的通用网络评估工具（SALG URSSA）将用于确定培训项目的有效性。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://www.marquette.edu/biology/srp.shtml或联系PI（allison.abbott @ marquette.edu）或共同PI（Edward布卢门塔尔博士，edward.布卢门塔尔@ marquette.edu）。
