Research Experience for Undergraduates in Biological Sciences

该奖项为卡耐基梅隆大学生物科学系提供资金，以继续为本科生SITE提供成功的研究经验。该系的研究领域包括细胞生物学、遗传学、分子生物学、发育生物学、生物化学和生物物理学。每个学生将进行一个原创的研究项目，由教师导师设计，导师是他或她的专业领域的领导者。学生们还将参加从科学荣誉到申请研究生院的一系列特别研讨会和讲习班，并在总结研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生将从美国各地的学院和大学招募。将特别努力招收文理学院的学生，并将招收相当数量的少数民族学生和妇女作为主要目标。学生的选择将基于学术标准（SAT或ACT分数）、推荐信以及学生对研究的兴趣。对于1992年的夏季研究项目，CMU管理部门承诺提供3万美元的大学补充资金。这些资金将用于支持越来越多的学生参与。1992年的参加者人数约为15至18人。

This award provides funds to the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University to continue a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduate SITE. The Department conducts research in cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, developmental 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 workshops ranging from honor in science to applying to graduate school, 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 (SAT or ACT scores), letters of recommendation, as well as the students' stated interest in research. For the 1992 summer research program, the CMU administration has pledged $30,000 in supplemental university funds. These funds will be used to support an increased number of student participants. The number of participants in 1992 will be approximately 15 to 18.
