REU Site in Cellular and Molecular Biology at Sanford Research

这个REU网站奖桑福德研究，位于苏福尔斯，SD，将支持10名学生在2024年至2026年的夏天10周的培训。预计共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体，将在该方案中接受培训。重点将放在谁在历史上面临的障碍，参与科学，残疾学生和退伍军人的学生。该计划的目标是为本科生提供细胞和分子生物学方面的卓越研究经验，支持攻读研究生学位和研究职业，并增加科学界的多样性。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成果。 该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行。NSF ETAP系统将用于注册参与者（https：//www.nsfetap.gov/）。学生将在课程结束后进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将在细胞和分子生物学的各个领域进行前沿研究项目，包括信号转导，细胞内运输，细胞器功能，细胞增殖和分化，以及发育。项目将支持实验室研究目标，并为参与者提供明确的目标和预期成果。该计划将包括研究经验，职业和专业发展规划，负责任的研究培训行为，以及科学演示和写作机会。学生还将通过外联活动与社区接触，以提高公众的科学素养，并激励青年考虑科学事业。学生将在网上申请，选拔委员会将通过视频会议面试最优秀的候选人，并作出录取决定。有关该计划和应用程序的更多信息，请访问https://research.sanfordhealth.org/academic-programs/undergraduates/spur或联系PI（Lance. Lee@www.example.com的Lee博士）。该奖项反映了NSF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。sanfordhealth.org

This REU Site award to Sanford Research, located in Sioux Falls, SD, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024 - 2026. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Emphasis will be placed on students who have historically faced barriers to participation in science, students with disabilities, and veterans. The objectives of the program are to provide exceptional research experiences in Cellular and Molecular Biology to undergraduate students, support the pursuit of graduate degrees and research careers, and increase diversity in the scientific community. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. The NSF ETAP system will be used to register participants (https://www.nsfetap.gov/). Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.Students will perform cutting-edge research on projects in diverse areas of Cellular and Molecular Biology, including signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, organelle function, cell proliferation and differentiation, and development. Projects will support laboratory research goals and provide defined goals and anticipated outcomes for the participant. The program will include a research experience, together with career and professional development programming, responsible conduct of research training, and scientific presentation and writing opportunities. Students will also engage with the community through outreach activities to increase public scientific literacy and inspire youth to consider science careers. Students will apply online, and a selection committee will interview the top candidates by videoconference and make acceptance decisions. More information about the program and application is available by visiting https://research.sanfordhealth.org/academic-programs/undergraduates/spur or by contacting the PI (Dr. Lee at Lance.Lee@sanfordhealth.org).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.
