REU: A Site For Undergraduate Research Enrichment-Molecular Regulatory Biology

该奖项将在威斯康星州东南部建立一个为期两年的国家科学基金会“本科生研究经验”网站。今年夏天将招募八名高素质的本科生，在两个地点之一进行研究：位于基诺沙的威斯康星大学帕克赛德校区的生物医学研究所实验室，或位于密尔沃基的威斯康星医学院生物化学和微生物系的实验室。基于丰富的本科生研究经验和活跃的研究项目，代表分子和调控生物学重点的12名教师将担任潜在的项目主管。该计划旨在通过以下方式培养每个参与者的智力自信、技术能力和研究独立性：由分子和调控生物学领域活跃的研究人员指导。为每个学生的研究进展制定一个具体目标的计划，通过会议和研讨会时间表，加上文献检索和研讨会演讲技巧的指导，以补充每个项目。3. 扩大国家科学基金会的努力，承诺利用内部资金为优秀学生提供第二个夏天的研究。4. 4 .积极在区域征聘优秀的候选人，特别努力吸引少数民族和妇女，并在靠近西太平洋大学实验室的地方安排住房；NSF-REU经验的即时和长期评估。

This award will establish a National Science Foundation "Research Experiences for Undergraduate" site in southeast Wisconsin for two years. Eight highly qualified undergraduates will be recruited this summer to conduct research at one of two locations comprising the site: the Biomedical Research Institute laboratories on the campus of the University of Wisconsin- Parkside in Kenosha or the laboratories of the departments of biochemistry and microbiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Based upon extensive experiences with undergraduate research together with active research programs, 12 faculty representing the focus of Molecular and Regulatory Biology will serve as potential project supervisors. This program is designed to develop each participant's intellectual confidence, technical competence and research independence via: 1. Guidance by active researchers in the areas of Molecular and Regulatory Biology. 2. A program of specific goals for each student's research progress via a meeting and seminar schedule plus instruction in literature search and seminar presentation techniques complementary to each project. 3. Amplification of the NSF effort through a commitment to carry over meritorious students for a second summer of research using internal funding. 4. Aggressive regional recruitment of superior candidates with special efforts to attract minorities and women plus housing arrangements proximate to the UW-P laboratories and, 5. Immediate and long-term evaluation of the NSF-REU experience.
