REU Site: Program in Molecular Biosciences at the University of Oregon

该REU网站奖授予俄勒冈州尤金市的俄勒冈大学（UO），将在2018-2020年夏季期间为10名学生提供为期10周的培训。实习学生在科研方法、演示、批判性思维和实验设计方面接受培训。该计划（UO REU）的科学重点是分子生物科学。UO REU为实习生提供密切指导的前沿研究项目，并为实习生提供丰富活跃的学习环境。研究领域包括分子生物学、生物化学、结构生物学与生物物理学、生物信息学、分子神经生物学、分子进化、微生物学、发育生物学、基因组学、分子遗传学、细胞生物学和计算生物学。该计划的特点是培训专业和负责任的研究行为，研究生院咨询，口头和书面科学交流，获取，处理和评估科学文献，以及非正式和正式的研究成果展示。每周的研究小组讨论、专业发展研讨会、教师研讨会以及口头和书面进展报告为研究生院和研究事业提供了严格的准备。提供与各级活跃研究人员的专业和社会互动。招聘和选拔策略侧重于获得研究机会有限的学生、来自STEM中代表性不足的群体的学生、弱势学生和残疾学生。选拔过程涉及所有参与的教员。预计总共将有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该项目中接受培训。学生们将学习如何进行研究，所有实习生都将参加国家专业会议并展示研究成果。该计划旨在增强研究界下一代生命科学家的多样性和才能，并为下一代培养榜样。由生物基础设施部（生物科学理事会）资助的所有REU项目使用的通用网络评估工具将用于评估培训计划的有效性，UO REU特定焦点小组和评估也将被使用。课程结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统自动发送的电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://uoreu.uoregon.edu或通过电子邮件（uoreu@uoregon.edu）发送给PI， Peter O'Day博士或合作PI， Bryan Rebar博士。

This REU Site award to the University of Oregon (UO), in Eugene, OR, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2020. Student interns are trained in scientific research methodologies, presentation, critical thinking, and experimental design. The scientific focus of the program (UO REU) is in molecular biosciences. UO REU provides closely mentored cutting edge research projects in a rich active learning environment for interns. Research areas include molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology & biophysics, bioinformatics, molecular neurobiology, molecular evolution, microbiology, developmental biology, genomics, molecular genetics, cell biology, and computational biology. The Program features training in professional and 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 research group discussions, professional development workshops, 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. Recruiting and selection strategies focus on students having limited access to research opportunities, students from groups underrepresented in STEM, disadvantaged students, and those with disabilities. The selection process involves all participating faculty. 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 future 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, and UO REU specific focus groups and assessment will be used as well. Students will be tracked after the program to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
