Research Experience for Undergraduates in Biological Scienceat Carnegie-Mellon University

该奖项为卡内基梅隆大学(CMU)的本科生研究体验网站提供持续支持。该计划将向有学术天赋的学生介绍生物科学系教员实验室正在进行的研究。该部门在细胞生物学、遗传学、分子生物学、生物化学和生物物理学方面进行国家认可的研究。每个学生都要进行一项原创的研究项目，该项目由一位在其专业领域中处于领先地位的教师导师设计。学生还将参加一个特别的研讨会系列，并在总结研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生将从全美各地的学院和大学招收。将特别努力招收文科院校的学生，主要目标是招收相当数量的少数民族学生和妇女。学生的选择将基于学术标准、推荐信以及学生声明的研究兴趣。对于1989年的暑期研究计划，CMU政府承诺向大学提供3万美元的补充资金。这些资金将用于支持更多的学生参与者。1989年的参加者人数约为16至18人。

This awards provides continuing support for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The program will introduce academically talented students to ongoing research in faculty laboratories in the Department of Biological Sciences. The Department conducts nationally recognized research in cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. Each student will carry out an original research project devised by a faculty mentor who is a leader in his or her area of expertise. Students will also attend a special seminar series and present the results of their research at a concluding symposium. Students will be recruited from colleges and universities all over the United States. Special efforts will be made to recruit students from liberal arts colleges and the recruitment of a significant number of minority students and women is a major goal. Selection of students will be based upon academic criteria, letters of recommendation, as well as the students' stated interest in research. For the 1989 summer research program, the CMU administration has pledge $30,000 in supplemental university funds. These funds will be used to support an increased number of student participants. The number of participants in 1989 will be approximately 16 to 18.
