This REU Site award to the University of Georgia located in Athens, GA, will support the training of 13 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023- 2025. It is anticipated that a total of 39 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or are from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. The program is run in partnership with Clark Atlanta University, an HBCU located in Atlanta, GA. The program has been in existence for 22 years and has trained over 200 REU participants who have contributed to fundamental discoveries about telomerase, gene regulation, the biological clock, and the biochemistry of red tides. All REU participants are expected to present their research at national meetings, and about 15% are expected to publish their research findings in peer-reviewed journals. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool used by all BIO REU sites. Students will be required to register their participation in the NSF ETAP system (etap.nsf.gov) and tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. The scientific focus of this program is on genomics, computational biology, systems biology, metabolomics, proteomics, and glycomics. Faculty mentors come from various departments and centers, including Genetics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Institute of Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Physics and Astronomy, Plant Biology, Plant Pathology, Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, Microbiology, and Communication. Applications are done online at http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB. Students from groups under-represented in STEM and those from schools with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply. In addition to developing a research project over 10 weeks, students participate in bioethics and communication training, seminars, and workshops hosted by seven other interlocking REU sites on the UGA campus. Past research projects on this REU site have included the study of the biological clock, telomerase, adaptive immunity through CRISPR/CAS systems, novel algorithms for network reconstruction, identification of network motifs, and constructing large scale database tools in systems biology. More information about the program is available at http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Jonathan Arnold at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Sharifeh Mehrabi at [e-mail]).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.

REU现场奖授予位于佐治亚州雅典的格鲁吉亚大学，将支持13名学生在2023- 2025年夏季接受为期10周的培训。预计共有39名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或来自代表性不足的群体，将在该方案中接受培训。该计划是与克拉克亚特兰大大学，位于佐治亚州亚特兰大的HBCU合作运行。该计划已经存在了22年，已经培训了200多名REU参与者，他们对端粒酶，基因调控，生物钟和赤潮生物化学的基本发现做出了贡献。所有REU参与者都将在全国会议上介绍他们的研究，大约15%的参与者将在同行评审的期刊上发表他们的研究成果。将通过所有BIO REU研究中心使用的在线SALG URSSA工具对该计划进行评估。学生将被要求在NSF ETAP系统（etap.nsf.gov）中注册他们的参与，并在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。该计划的科学重点是基因组学，计算生物学，系统生物学，代谢组学，蛋白质组学和糖组学。教师导师来自各个部门和中心，包括遗传学，生物化学和分子生物学，生物信息学研究所，计算机科学，物理学和天文学，植物生物学，植物病理学，复杂碳水化合物研究中心，微生物学和通信。申请在http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB网站上完成。特别鼓励来自STEM代表性不足的群体的学生和来自研究机会有限的学校的学生申请。 除了开发超过10周的研究项目，学生参加生物伦理学和通信培训，研讨会和讲习班由其他七个联锁REU网站在UGA校园主办。过去在这个REU网站上的研究项目包括生物钟，端粒酶，通过CRISPR/CAS系统的适应性免疫，网络重建的新算法，网络基序的识别，以及在系统生物学中构建大规模数据库工具。 有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http：//www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB，或联系PI（Jonathan Arnold博士，[e-mail]）或co-PI（Sharifeh Mehrabi博士，[e-mail]）。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
