Undergraduate Research Participation Program in Science

该奖项为罗斯威尔公园纪念研究所提供资金，以建立本科生研究经验网站。该计划的目标是：(1)让学员接触到活跃的研究环境；(2)不断激发他们对科学的兴趣；（三）让学员见证科学创新；(4)帮助他们规划自己的科学学术生涯。学生们将80%的时间花在活跃的研究实验室中，在高级研究员的直接监督下完成自己的研究项目，在导师的直接监督下完成这些目标。其余20%的时间用于参加在研究所举办的生物学、化学和生物物理学特定领域的讲座和多学科研讨会。从实验室到课堂的时间分配对于拓宽受训者的视野到其他科学领域是重要的。在项目结束时将举行一个小型科学会议。学生需要为这次会议准备一份口头报告和海报报告。项目将分配给细胞和分子生物学的学员。教育部在高级调查员的带领下，仔细匹配受训人员，以确保大学生的兴趣和项目的目标得以实现。当实习生被分配到一个活跃的研究实验室做他的项目工作时，寻求实习生和高级研究员之间一对一的关系。

This award provides funds to the Roswell Park Memorial Institute to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site. The objectives of the program are: (1) to expose the trainees to an atmosphere of an active research environment; (2) to continually challenge them to develop an interest in science; (3) to allow the trainees to witness scientific creativity; and (4) to help them in planning their academic careers in science. The students fulfill these objectives by spending 80% of their time in an active research laboratory under direct supervision of a senior investigator where they are assigned their own research project to conduct under the direct supervision of their mentor. The remaining 20% of the time is spent attending lectures and multidisciplinary seminars in specific areas of biology, chemistry and biophysics conducted at the Institute. The allocation of time away from the laboratory and in the classroom is important to broaden the trainees horizons into other areas of science. A Scientific Mini-conference is held at the conclusion of the program. Students are required to prepare both an oral and poster presentation for this conference. Projects will be assigned to trainees in Cellular and Molecular Biology. The Education Department, with the senior investigators, carefully match trainees to make sure the college students' interests and the objectives of the program are fulfilled. A one- to-one relationship between trainee and senior investigator is sought when the trainee is assigned to an active research laboratory to do his project work.
