REU: An Interdisciplinary Program in Evolutionary Biology

该奖项将为研究提供持续支持 哈佛大学本科生体验网站。 一 进化生物学的培训计划是建立在 有兴趣获得研究经验的本科生。 在适当教师的指导下，学生将获得 培训的理论概念，研究问题，和各种 生物学技术，用于制定和测试假设， 这些问题 鼓励学生熟悉 在实验室里进行研究， 他们将详细探讨的具体研究课题。 强调学生和教师之间的定期互动。 学生将参加每周一次的实验室间讨论小组 在那里，他们将接触到研究项目进行， 其他实验室，并提出和接收反馈， 他们自己的工作。 提供设施和培训， 学生将能够独立或半独立地进行 研究进化生物学中的重要问题。

This award will provide continuing support for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Harvard University. A training program in evolutionary biology is established for undergraduates interested in acquiring research experience. Under the guidance of appropriate faculty, students will receive training in theoretical concepts, research problems, and various biological techniques used to formulate and test hypotheses on these problems. Students will be encouraged to become familiar with research being conducted in the laboratory before choosing a specific research topic which they will explore in detail. Regular interactions between students and faculty are emphasized. Students will attend a weekly inter-laboratory discussion group where they will be exposed to research projects conducted in other laboratories, as well as present and receive feedback on their own work. Facilities and training are available so that students will be able to conduct independent or semi-independent research on important questions in evolutionary biology.
