This project will support the efforts of a team of undergraduate students from various STEM disciplines at the University of Virginia. The team will design and assemble a prototypical biological device for the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition in synthetic biology. The development and production of this device will provide undergraduate students with hands-on training in a variety of scientific areas, including synthetic biology, molecular biology and computational modeling. Broadening participation in STEM research is an important goal of this project. This project supports the interdisciplinary research training of a diverse team of undergraduate students at the University of Virginia. The team will design and produce a prototypical biological device for the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition in synthetic biology. The participants will receive training in a variety of STEM disciplines, acquire a global perspective on innovation and strategic road mapping, and have many opportunities to network with leaders in STEM fields such as synthetic biology, molecular biology and computational modeling.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.

该项目将支持来自弗吉尼亚大学各个STEM学科的本科生团队的努力。该团队将为国际遗传工程机器（iGEM）合成生物学竞赛设计和组装原型生物设备。该设备的开发和生产将为本科生提供各种科学领域的实践培训，包括合成生物学，分子生物学和计算建模。扩大STEM研究的参与是该项目的一个重要目标。该项目支持弗吉尼亚大学本科生多元化团队的跨学科研究培训。该团队将为国际遗传工程机器（iGEM）合成生物学竞赛设计和生产原型生物设备。参与者将接受各种STEM学科的培训，获得关于创新和战略路线图的全球视角，并有很多机会与合成生物学，分子生物学和计算建模等STEM领域的领导者建立联系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
