A Site for Undergraduate Research Enrichment-Molecular/ Regulatory Biology

该奖项为威斯康星大学帕克赛德分校的生物科学系提供资金，以继续在威斯康星州东南部为本科生提供成功的研究经验。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：1)分子和调控生物学领域活跃的研究人员的指导和日常培养；2)通过会议和研讨会时间表，以及文献检索和研讨会演示技术的指导，为每个学生的研究进展制定具体目标；3)利用国家科学基金会的努力，承诺每年夏天支持更多的学生和/或使用内部资金将优秀学生留在第二个夏天进行研究。4)积极地在区域和某些情况下全国招聘优秀候选人，特别努力吸引代表性不足的群体，并在靠近华盛顿大学实验室的地方安排住房。5) NSF-REU经验的近期和长期评价。

This award provides funds to the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Parkside to continue a successful 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 deigned to develop each participant's intellectual confidence, technical competence and research independence via: 1) guidance and daily nurturing 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) leveraging of the NSF effort through a commitment to support additional students each summer and/or to carry over meritorious students for a second summer of research using internal funding, 4) Aggressive regional and in some cases national 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.
