The Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biodesign (B3) REU site award to City College of New York (CCNY), located in New York, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. The B3-REU program draws mentors from the Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Biology, and Physics, the Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering and the CUNY School of Medicine. Students will be selected by the program steering committee based on their interest in research and fit in the program. The program will recruit students from: 1) CCNY and the City University of New York (CUNY) system, 2) students from community colleges in the CUNY system, and 3) students from outside CUNY. Student research will be supplemented with workshops and field trips to enable students to develop a science identity that will motivate pursuit of advanced degrees and careers in science. Workshops will train students on keeping a lab notebook, responsible conduct of research, writing a scientific paper or poster and others. To assess the program, the BIO REU common assessment tool will be used. Students will be tracked after the REU for their progress in their pursuit of a STEM career. This REU Site will train students on a variety of contemporary problems in biochemistry and biophysics. Example projects include the structural and functional analysis of macromolecular complexes, DNA repair, organelles, environmental sensing, microbial cytokinesis, membrane biogenesis; affinity of protein side chains and interaction of proteins and peptides with membranes. Students will learn how professional scientists think about problems, formulate hypotheses, design and perform experiments, and analyze data. It is anticipated that at least 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. The broader impact of the program will be measured by the number of students trained, including women and members of under-represented groups, and by contributions to advances in science thru publications and presentaions. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present their work at scientific conferences. Students who have been accepted to the program will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.b3-reu.ccny.cuny.edu, or by contacting the PI (Dr. David Jeruzalmi: [e-mail]; Twitter: @CCNYB3REU; Instagram: ccny_b3_reu).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

位于纽约州纽约的纽约城市学院（CCNY）获得了生物化学，生物物理和生物设计（B3） REU站点奖，将在2020-2022年夏季支持10名学生的培训，为期10周。B3-REU项目的导师来自化学与生物化学系、生物学与物理系、生物医学工程与化学工程系以及纽约市立大学医学院。学生将由项目指导委员会根据他们对研究的兴趣和对项目的适应程度进行选择。该计划将招收以下学生：1)纽约市立大学和纽约市立大学（CUNY）系统的学生，2)纽约市立大学系统社区学院的学生，以及3)纽约市立大学以外的学生。学生的研究将辅以研讨会和实地考察，使学生能够培养一种科学身份，这将激励学生追求更高的学位和科学事业。工作坊将训练学生如何保存实验笔记、负责任的研究行为、撰写科学论文或海报等。为了评估该计划，将使用BIO REU通用评估工具。学生将在REU之后被跟踪，以了解他们在追求STEM职业方面的进展。这个REU网站将在生物化学和生物物理学的各种当代问题上训练学生。示例项目包括大分子复合物的结构和功能分析、DNA修复、细胞器、环境传感、微生物胞质分裂、膜生物发生；蛋白质侧链的亲和力以及蛋白质和多肽与膜的相互作用。学生将学习专业科学家如何思考问题，制定假设，设计和执行实验，以及分析数据。预计至少有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。该计划的更广泛影响将通过接受培训的学生人数（包括女性和代表性不足群体的成员）以及通过出版物和演讲对科学进步的贡献来衡量。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。被录取的学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问https://www.b3-reu.ccny.cuny.edu或联系PI （David Jeruzalmi博士：[e-mail]; Twitter: @CCNYB3REU; Instagram: ccny_b3_reu）。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
