REU: An Undergaduate Research Participation Program in the Biological Sciences

该奖项为霍普学院生物系提供资金，以继续他们的本科生研究经验网站。该计划为1988年夏季10名本科生在全职生物学研究中有意义的参与提供支持。霍普学院致力于通过课程作业和严肃的本科研究实验室工作相结合，继续其培养未来科学家的计划。让大学生参与专业水平的研究对培养科学家很重要。根据学习成绩、研究能力或潜力、专业目标、独立自主和主动性，从希望学院选出5名学生和其他学校选出5名学生。学生可以从18个不同的研究项目中进行选择，这些研究项目由10位博士教授指导。学生将通过学生和研究主管之间的讨论来匹配研究领域。研究机会将包括从组氨酸利用基因的调节到口渴生理学，再到种子传播模式对热带森林植物生存的影响。学生将被要求根据他们的研究准备一篇论文和一个研讨会，并鼓励发表他们的发现。

This award contributes funds to the Hope College Biology Department to continue their Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site. The program provides support for the meaningful involvement of ten undergraduate students in full time biology research during the summer of 1988. Hope College is committed to continuing its program of educating tomorrow's scientists through a combination of course work and serious undergraduate work in the research laboratory. Involving undergraduates in professional level research is important in the training of scientists. Five students from Hope College and five students from other schools will be selected on the basis of academic record, research ability or potential, professional objectives, independence and self-reliance, and initiative. Students will be able to choose form 18 different research projects supervised by 10 Ph.D. faculty members. Students will be matched to research areas by discussions between students and research supervisors. Research opportunities will range from the regulation of histidine utilization genes to the physiology of thirst to effects of seed dispersal patterns on survival of tropical forest plants. Students will be required to prepare a paper and present a seminar based on their research and encouraged to publish their findings.
