REU: Cal State LA Research Experiences for Undergraduates inBiology

该奖项向洛杉矶加州州立大学生物系提供资金，以建立本科生研究体验网站。基金将资助七个生物学研究领域的8名本科生：发育生物学、种群生物学、行为遗传学、肾脏生理学、生理动物生态学、神经生物学和分子生物学。这8名学生将在1989年夏天接受为期12周的全日制研究。这些学生中至少有一半将从加州各地的两年制和四年制学院和大学招收，其余学生来自校园。少数民族、妇女、残疾和经济困难学生将成为目标群体。加州州立大学洛杉矶分校没有遇到针对这些群体的困难，因为大多数学生(70%)是少数民族，是女性(56%)，经济上处于不利地位(90%)。该大学还有一个积极的残疾学生计划，招收各种身体残疾的学生。该校园位于洛杉矶东部，为圣加布里埃尔山谷提供服务，圣加布里埃尔山谷主要是西班牙裔。

This award provides funds to the Biology Department at Cal State University, Los Angeles to establish a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site. Funds will support 8 undergraduate students in seven areas of biological research: Developmental Biology, Population Biology, Behavioral Genetics, Renal Physiology, Physiological Animal Ecology, Neurobiology, and Molecular Biology. The 8 students will be supported for 12 weeks of full time research during the summer of 1989. At least 1/2 of these students will be recruited from 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities throughout California, with the remaining students from on campus. Minorities, women, disabled and economically disadvantaged students will be the target group. Cal State L.A. has had no difficulty targeting these groups, since the majority of the students (70%) are minority, are women (56%), and are economically disadvantaged (90%). The University also has an active disabled students program that recruits students with various physical disabilities. The campus is located in East Los Angeles servicing the San Gabriel Valley which is predominantly Hispanic.
