A Site for Undergraduate Research Enrichment - Molecular/ Regulatory Biology

该奖项提供资金，在威斯康星州东南部建立一个本科生研究经验网站。八名高素质的本科生将被招募到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进行研究。基于丰富的本科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. 通过承诺利用内部资金和/或每年夏天支持更多的学生来延续优秀学生的第二个夏天的研究，扩大NSF的努力。4. 4 .积极在区域招聘优秀候选人，特别努力吸引代表性不足的群体，并安排靠近华盛顿大学实验室的住房；NSF-REU经验的即时和长期评估。

This award provides funds to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduate site in southeast Wisconsin. Eight highly qualified undergraduates will be recruited to conduct research, at the Biomedical Research Institute laboratories on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha. Based upon extensive experiences with undergraduate research together with active research programs, 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 and/or to support additional students each summer. 4. Aggressive regional recruitment of superior candidates with special efforts to attract underrepresented groups plus housing arrangements proximate to the UW-P laboratories, and, 5. Immediate and long-term evaluation of the NSF-REU experience.
