REU Site: Research & Training in Multidisciplinary field of Regenerative Sciences for Undergraduates

位于亚利桑那州蒙哥马利的阿拉巴马州立大学(ASU)获得REU Site奖，将支持在2021-2023年夏季对10名学生进行为期10周的培训。该项目的重点是为本科生提供再生科学多学科领域的研究与培训。预计共有30名学生将在该计划中接受培训，这些学生主要来自代表性不足的少数群体和研究机会有限的学校。学生将学习研究是如何进行的，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。该培训针对的是希望在STEM领域攻读更高学位的学生。通过拟议项目取得的科学进步将大大增强拟议领域的知识。将使用一个通用的网上评估SALG Urssa工具来确定培训方案的有效性。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生项目将围绕再生科学、生物医学工程、发育生物学以及微生物研究和免疫反应研究等基本主题进行组织。来自生物科学系、生物医学工程系、化学系和物理科学系的教师将担任该项目的导师。学生将参加一个全日制的密切指导的实验室研究项目，以及研讨会、实地考察、专业发展研讨会、负责任的研究指导、学术界和工业界的职业机会以及研究生院的申请过程。在课程的最后一周，学生们将在座谈会上展示他们的发现。学生还将在课程期间以手稿的形式提交一份关于他们项目的科学报告。将提供住房、津贴、餐饮和旅行津贴。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体和研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。学生将根据他们对研究的兴趣、学术记录、本国机构的推荐信以及与潜在教师导师的电话面试来选择。欲了解更多有关该计划的信息，请访问http://www.alasu.edu/academics/研究中心/REU-PROGRAM和http://bioreu-alasu.org，，或联系国际组织(Komal Vig博士，电子邮件：komalvig@alasu edu；电话：334-604-8189)或联合国际组织(Shree R.Singh博士，电子邮件：ssingh@alasU.edu)。该奖项由生物科学局(BIO)的生物基础设施部(DBI)和工程局(ENG)的工程教育和中心部(EEC)支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU Site award to Alabama State University (ASU), located in Montgomery, AL, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021- 2023. The focus of this program is to provide “Research & Training in Multidisciplinary field of Regenerative Sciences for Undergraduates”. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from underrepresented minority groups and from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The training is aimed at students who desires to pursue a higher degree in STEM fields. The scientific advances made through the proposed projects will significantly enhance knowledge in the proposed field. A common web-based assessment SALG URSSA tool 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.The student projects will be organized around the fundamental themes of regenerative sciences, biomedical engineering, and developmental biology along with microbial studies and immune response studies. Faculty from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physical Sciences will serve as mentors for the program. Students will participate in a full-time closely mentored lab research project along with seminars, field trips, professional development workshops, responsible conduct of research, career opportunities in academia and industry, and the graduate school application process. Students will present their findings at a symposium during the final week of the program. Student will also submit a scientific report of their project in a manuscript format during the program. Housing, a stipend, meal and travel allowances will be provided. Students from underrepresented minority groups and from colleges with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply. Students will be selected based on their interest in research, academic record, recommendation letters from their home institutions and phone interviews with potential faculty mentors.
